Personal profile

I'm Rogelio Alsina, a Cuban-born writer and songwriter based in London. I have been writing songs since the late 1990s, when I began composing for a Cuban music group in London, and I now run my own independent label, Maroya Studios. My work is lyric-led: singer-songwriter material, guajira and nueva trova, popular humour, and musical settings of Cuban poetry, from José Martí to Félix Luis Viera. I also write literary fiction in Spanish. I'm looking for contacts in sync licensing, publishing, distribution, and commissions for Spanish-language songwriting and lyric adaptation.
