About alex ramos and salsasoul

Alexander Pera Ramos (Alex THE CONGAS KID):
I was born on Cuba on February 25, and raised in Florida, Camagüey.
My maternal grandfather Francisco Ramos Bazan, a well-known “Tres” player in eastern Cuba 's (Paco Ramos), had a strong interest in planting the music roots in the new generation (grandchildrens) so it was forced to study it, and he dedicated a great part of his time to protect this.
I’m related to all a wealth of famous musicians. My uncles are in some of the best groups of Cuba : EVELIO RAMOS conguero (Conga-player) of the group “Manolito Simonet y su trabuco”, EMILIO RAMOS, treseros (Tres-Player) of “Teacher Group Sierra”. JUAN PERA RAMOS, my brother, percussionist in the famous Cuban Rumba group “Rumbata”. My cousins, QUILLERMO - conguero in the band “El Indio y su son”, WILMER FERRAN (director), REINALDO B. BATISTA (singer) and REINALDO PEREZ (percussion) in the band RUMBATA. ODALIS NOEMI H. RAMOS – Folklore singer in the group “Cubahiti”.
I grew up with WILMER FERRAN, my mother, ELBA ROSA RAMOS BATISTA - Folklore former dancer and my father, JUAN MIGUEL RIOS PERA, who was no musician, but his father was a great guitar player from Puerto Rico! I always found it interesting, that both grandfathers and my mother were official musicians and set the roots for so many talents in the family. All inspired from the many music styles of Cuba and people like Barrueto Miguel, who is still living and a famous musician trecero, native of Camaguey.
I began my musical career very early, already at the age of 12 I started my first musical experience with the group “Hola Sol”, a year later I performed with “Serenata de Florida”, and then with “Conjunto Carib”.
I am really identified with my Afro roots as well as the Afro-Latin music in all its extension, performing as vocalist and percussionist on the Afro Cuban music scene playing with “Rumbatá” and Ballet “Folklórico de Camagüey” and participating in several concerts in Europe and Scandinavia.
Exchange has already been with the Jamaican scene with Skarr Mucci, Agata Bonafe Mongiovi, Marla Glen, Sherlyn Whittike.- short trompet (James Brown)-, Pamela O’ Neal, waldo wathers (James Brown)-., Havana Coastlein, Rick washinton -Lili Vasquez y la super salsa, El Cartel, Danza Cuba, Labana , Icons of soul., Rumbata, La Diosa, Luis Frank Arias (Buena Vista Social Club), Roberto Santamaria - Rollin Stones T- Alex ramos and salsasoul and being in the orchestra Eric Conley (The Barry White Experience) has been an accomplishment of my career profile. ”
