Biography:
Singer-songwriter Alex*Cuba hails from Artemisa, Cuba (1 hour west of Havana) and resides in Smithers, B.C. (14 hours north of Vancouver). Musically, he lives everywhere in between. His trademark sugarcane-sweet melodies, pop-soul hooks and rock chords subtly subvert commonly held notions of what Cuban music is. Alex is on the vanguard, crafting a cross-cultural sound that mirrors his geographical journey. Not tied to tradition, this Cuban-Canadian prefers his vintage Gibson over el sencerro (cowbell) anytime.

Em Am B7
[Verse 1]
Em Am B7 Em
Esta es la mas dramatica historia acerca de una mujer,
Am B7 Em
bella, desnuda en un cuadro que yo tengo en la pared
Am B7 Em
y que sonrie al mirarla casi haciendome creer
Am B7 Em
que del amor no se nada, dramatica mujer
[Bridge]
Am B7 Em
(Que brinque, que salte) dramatica mujer
Am B7 Em
(Que brinque, que salte) dramatica mujer
Am B7 Em
[Verse 2]
Am B7 Em
She's mostly a ghost, the way she watches over me
Am B7 Em
She complains when I smoke, but then you do the same to me,
Am B7 Em
She's controlling my brain activity, knowing when I go.. to sleep
Am B7 Em
She'll catch me when I'm falling hard
[Chorus]
Am B7 Em
(Que brinque, que salte) dramatica mujer
Am B7 Em
(Que brinque, que salte) she's no so usual
Am B7 Em
(Que brinque, que salte) she's no so usual
Am B7
(Que brinque, que salte)
[Verse 3]
Am
Y por su forma de ser yo pense que tal vez
D
Me envolveria en el placer me enviciaria a socorrer
Am
La sed de su amor que en apariencias me dejo
D
Dudar sin razon porque al final me hace feliz
[Verse 4]
G D Em
And it's fine, cause she's with me now, most all of the time,
Am
Trying and saving my life, thinking not of her own,
D
And always kissing me goodnight when I just need to be alone.
G D Em
She's so sweet, so discrete, she's exactly what I need,
Am B7
Not even make believe... Ohh
Em Am B7 ... Em
B7
She's not so usual
Em Am B7 ... Em
B7
She's not so You... Ha..!
[Vocal Ad-libs]
(Continue playing Em Am B7 throughout Vocal Ad-libs)
Oh... well say she's not so, not so usual, use,
But see she not too practical neither, babe.
I say she not so, not so mystical,
Not so magical - why? Because she say so.
An' not so out of control,
And not so...Into the phone.
She's not so u-sua-al.
She's a natural,
Oh, she's not so... u-sua-al-Oh! Oh!
All she wants to do is so-oul!
But she's not so you - Ha!
She's not so you.
Not so low!

But she's not so you - Ha!
She's not so you.
Not so low!
