Alberto M. Suarez
Alberto Suárez was born in Matanzas, Cuba – a city famous for its rich musical history and rumba rhythms. Alberto began to play percussion at the age 13, and completed formal years of training at both the Matanzas provincial music school and the National Conservatory of Music in Cuba’s capital, Havana.
Alberto worked at several hotels and nightclubs in Varadero, Cuba, before gaining a lucrative position in the acclaimed International Orchestra, directed by Carlos Tarafa. Since his arrival in Canada in 2003, Alberto has taken part in International percussion festivals in Toronto and Longueil, Québec, and has brought a new perspective to Toronto’s Latin music community. Besides being CaneFire’s resident percussionist, he has also performed with Nick Ali, Ruben Vasquez, Jane Bunnett, and Proyecto Charanguero.
