Adonis Puentes was destined to be a music star. Sabor a Café, his latest CD and first collection of all self-composed original songs, fulfills the Cuban-Canadian singer’s destiny. Adonis and his twin Alexis, (Alex Cuba), were born in 1974 in Artemisa, Cuba. Their father, Valentin Puentes, a well respected musician and teacher, had the six year old twins playing in a children’s guitar ensemble. At 14, Adonis was singing and writing original songs, music that has ripened and matured into the poetic, sensuous song-cycle, Sabor a Café. Adonis has been nominated for a JUNO Award (Puentes Brothers) and a Grammy Award for his lead vocalist work with Mongorama. He’s toured with Maraca Orland Valle and sung at L.A.’s Greek Theater and Lincoln Center, sharing the stage with Latin music luminaries Larry Harlow and Ruben Blades before 24,000 fans. He has performed at festivals around the world from South by Southwest to Java Jazz in Jakarta, Indonesia. Sabor a Café is a sensuous, profound recording with dramatic arrangements and a crystal clear studio sound.
