Alex Valdivia is a Cuban-American singer-songwriter, composer, and multi-instrumentalist from Sancti Spiritus, Cuba. Influenced by diverse musical styles from his Cuban roots and years in Costa Rica, Alex developed a unique sound that blends Caribbean and Latin American elements. He first gained recognition in the Tampa Bay area with bands like A Limine and Triptico, earning accolades such as TBT's Best Band of The Bay in 2009. His discography includes collaborations with Los Hijos de Ismael and Alejandro and The Third, alongside a robust solo career in California, producing albums like Desobediencias and Sacrosanct Desire. Currently, he's recording a new album and actively contributes to SPARKs, a theater and performance collective, composing soundtracks for plays like Because I Went There and Echoes of Them. Alex also organizes #NoHayFronteras, an international virtual concert series.
The song is written from the perspective of a critical voice against power, that omnipresent force that tries to divide, kill, and separate us from love. That voice reminds us that we only have each other. In the chorus of the song, a second voice joins in, and reminds the first of the beauty of the space they share and encourages them to stand up together against the powerful and oppressors of love.
