Alexander Brown

Born in Cuba the trumpeter, composer, arranger, and musical director Alexander Brown showed an early and avid interest in music. He was steeped in trumpet playing from an early age. Finally, after so many years of musical studies, he graduated from the Instituto Superior de Artes. Later on, he had the opportunity to tour worldwide. He performed as a special guest of a well-conceived musical project paying homage to the great conguero Chano Pozo, performing alongside the master percussionists that have developed the sound of Cuban music: Jose Luis Quintana "Changuito" and the late Tatagüines. 
​

After his arrival to Canada, Alexander was immersed in this country's music scene, performing with the who is who in the city of Toronto. With his solid classical training, Alexander Brown is always ready to cross the boundaries of any musical genre; he can fuse the Cuban and Latin American genres. Likewise, Brown plays with the various stylistic experiences without abandoning his African and Cuban identities.
