Alex Cuba October 2, 2012 Ruido en el Systema
In the past few months I have been getting my groove on to some of the hottest Latin music that I've heard since the release of "Solas Con Chayanne".
Alejandro Sanz has long been a favorite of mine and a constant staple in my playlist rotation. Over the last year Alex cuba has joined the ranks of Pandora's favorites. Both albums are a sweet pleasure to all the senses. Put them together and there is no style, no flavor that isn't touched.
Alejandro Sanz released La Musica No Se Toca on September 25, 2012. This is his 9th studio album, his first in three years, and he never ceases to amaze me. Just when you think you've heard it all, he reaches deep inside of himself and releases more of himself.
La Musica No se toca has 14 tracks including a bonus track that knocked me off my chair! It's called Down, featuring none other than rapper Fat Jo. My favorites off the album are, La Musica No Se Toca, Se Vende, Camino a Casa, Para Decirle Adios, which has the most beautiful sting orchestrations, and Down, featuring Fat Jo.
1. La Musica No Se Toca
2. Yo Te Traigo
3. No Me Compares
4. Llamando A La Mujer Accion
5. Mi Marciana

14. Down (Bonus Track)
What can I say about Alex Cuba other than the obvious? Pandora's Caja had the great pleasure of interviewing Alex a few months ago (Alex Cuba, Sin Definicion) in anticipation of his 5th studio album Ruido en el Systema. Alex is an artist that by his inherent artistic nature cannot be labeled. Yes, he's Latin, yes he sings in Spanish, but he also sings in English, and his music is as multifaceted and colorful as a kaleidoscope. What ever your flavor, you'll find on this album. From ballads, to pop, to rock, it's all here...and it's flawless.
My picks for this album? Suspiro en Falsete, Nadie Como Tu (Featuring Nelly Furtado), Lo Mejor para Mi, Are You, and my top pick for the album is Creo.
Ruido en el Systema has 14 tracks, and non of them will leave you wanting:
1. Sin un Porque
2. Suspiro en Falsete
3. Por Donde Vas
4. Eres
5. Nadie Como
feat. Nelly Furtado
6. Lo Mejor Para Mi
7. Ruido en El Sistema
8. Como Si
Nada
9. Tu Nombre
10. Todo en La Vida
11. Are You
12. Creo
