Alex Gonzalez
A Civil Engineer with a special fondness for the Island of Cuba and its music.It is the dream of a lover of Latin music to have the opportunity to make music in Cuba, so the jump from Collector to executive producer was a natural one. To do this in the best way, an entire infrastructure was needed. After 25 years around music, this near impossible challenge would require all of his unbridled determination. He understood that Cuba is a country where relationships built on trust and diplomacy open doors, and so set about a five years journey to make Zanja Records a reality.
