The Mission of Alejandro Meola

Written By Mike Greenblatt
Alejandro Meola

North Bergen singer-songwriter-guitarist Alejandro Meola’s self-described mission-in-music is to “support cultural diversity through the arts.” Thus, the Argentine-American will be debuting his new single “Sed De Nacer” April 11 in Boston at The Jungle, April 15 in New York City at Berlin in the East Village, April 27 in Charlotte, North Carolina, at The Evening Muse, April 30 in Miami at Luna Star Cafe and May 2 in Atlanta at Fat Matt’s Rib Shack. 

“Sed De Nacer” follows the path set by previous singles “Electro Folk” and “Vivo,” both stark organic statements with but his voice and guitar. “Lately, I had the opportunity to travel quite a bit and on the road tried to sort out the songs with less, searching for their most essential form.” Opening for him in Manhattan will be Faustino, a Dominican singer-songwriter from New York City whose Caribbean style perfectly offsets Meola’s worldbeat aesthetic.
