Today, the Canadian-Cuban Juno and Latin Grammy Award winner, Alex Cuba, released his brand new single “Yo No Sé”, which you can stream exclusively via Aesthetic Magazine below. The track will appear on Cuba’s upcoming album, which is set to launch on September 6th.

The new single “Yo No Sé” talks about the importance of giving yourself the benefit of the doubt and allowing yourself to try anything.

The seventh studio album for Cuba, features six duets with Latin singers and songwriters, including emerging star Silvana Estradaand Cuban legend Omara Portuondo. Engineered by John ‘Beetle” Bailey and recorded in Canada, Mexico, Cuba and Spain – Alex is at the helm of every instrument, adopting a more minimalistic feel to the overall creative process, that enhances the magical simplicity of these songs.

The combination of new and established artists featured on the record illustrates the continuity of the Latin-American song, of genres like trova, bolero, son, guajira (among others), and the influence that jazz and pop have had on these genres forever.

His naturally retro songwriting shines on the album with the acoustic guitar, upright bass and percussion. After six albums that illustrate a development through jazz/pop/rock, Alex has set out to capture the mood and vibe of the original demos when the songs are recorded for the first time; that precise moment of total honesty between the composer and his craft.
