  • Alex Cuba (born Alexis Puentes in 1974 just outside of Havana) was a multi-styled multi-instrumentalist who got his start as a small child with his father's group, Lost Puentes. After touring and performing with the band Temperamento with Roberto Fonseca, Alex moved to Canada in 1999, and it was there that the creative direction of his music began to move away from the more traditional aspects of the Cuban sound. Alex and his brother Adonis formed the Alex Cuba band shortly thereafter, but soon came to call themselves the Puentes Brothers, and released the album Morumba Cubana in 2000. The album went on to earn the brothers a 2001 Juno Award nomination. Tours for the pair followed, as well as hitting all the festival stops that would have them, but in 2003 the brothers decided to put the project on hiatus to work on solo projects. For Alex, it was a return to the idea of the Alex Cuba band, and he released his debut, Humo De Tabaco in 2005. The album was a critical success, and scored Alex a Juno Award for Best World Music Album in 2006. His follow up, Agua Del Pozo, was released in February of 2007. Again, the talent of Alex Cuba wasn't overlooked, and in 2008 he was once again a nominee for the prestigious Juno Award.

  • Mexican singer/actress Ximena Sariñana released her full-length solo debut album, Mediocre, in 2008 after over a decade's worth of acting roles and occasional soundtrack contributions. Born Ximena Sariñana Rivera on October 29, 1985, in Mexico City, Mexico, she is the daughter of film director Fernando Sariñana and screenwriter Carolina Rivera, as well as the niece of actress Angélica Rivera. She began her recording career at an early age, singing the them song to the 1996 Mexican telenovela Luz Clarita. She had begun her acting career two years earlier, appearing as Melisa in the 1994 film Hasta Morir, directed by her father. She was also featured as an actress in the films Todo el Poder (1999), El Segundo Aire (2001), and Amar Te Duele (2002) -- all of which were directed by her father and written by her mother -- along with Amor Xtremo (2006) and Dos Abrazos (2007). Among these films, Amar Te Duele was Sariñana's breakout role as an actress as well as singer; the hit soundtrack features her song "Las Huellas," a fan favorite. In 2006 she sang lead vocals in the jazz-funk band Feliz No Cumpleaños -- also comprised of Alex Sanchez (guitar), Alex Cuevas (keyboards), Levi Serrano (sax), Hugo Chavez (bass), Gerardo Balandrano (percussion), and Uriel Herrera (drums) -- which composed theme music for Amor Xtremo and independently released La Familia Feliz. The following year she made a guest appearance on the song "Luna" from Volován's album Monitor. Then in 2008 she released her full-length solo debut album, Mediocre, which showcased a jazz-pop style. The album proved commercially as well as critically successful and spawned the popular singles "Normal" and "Vidas Paralelas."
