Mr Speaker, the Grammy Award for best Latin pop album of 2022 did not go to an artist from New York or Los Angeles. It did not go to an album on a big corporate label like EMI or Sony. This year’s Grammy for best Latin pop album went to none other than the great Canadian recording artist Alex Cuba, the pride of Smithers, British Columbia. Alex recorded his winning album in his home studio in Smithers during the pandemic, on a label he and his wife Sarah founded. Of course, all of us Smithereens were bursting with pride, and last week over 1,000 of us joined on Main Street for a tribute concert to celebrate Alex's success. Alex Cuba’s music is a gift to Canada and indeed the world. I hope all of my colleagues will join me in congratulating Alex Cuba on his Grammy win. Te felicito, mi amigo.
