Alex Mendez

Alex Mendez was born in Havana, Cuba. He studied classical guitar at the conservatory, “Gerardo Guanchez”, and there he improved his songwriting talent. Later he became known for his work with “Duo Alanimo”. Currently he is living in Denmark where he performs regularly with his band.



His compositions are essentially Cuban, but also have clear foreign influences. The lyrics unite beautiful poetry with more down to earth and festive topics where one also finds a touch of irony and cheerfulness.



“Trova” is a cuban singer-songwriter tradition that has been developed for more than a hundred years by musicians like Sindo Garay, Maria Teresa Vera, Portillo de la Luz, Silvio Rodriguez, Geraldo Alfonso and many others. Alex Mendez represents this tradition and a new generation of musicians.



Alex Mendez’ CD “Ella no Escucha la Trova” is a colorful, warm and engaging journey into the world of this subtle Cuban musician. It was released in autumn 2006 on the new label "Tiger music" and is available in Tiger stores in 5 different countries.



Alex Mendez is available for concerts solo or with his band. Please call +4560683323 for booking write an email at alexmendezcuba@hotmail.com
