The Cuban Piper at the Clé Club


The Cuban Piper: Alexander Suarez Mendez is 23 years old and from Havana in Cuba. He started learning music when he was 14 years old, on the Galician Pipes. He started learning the uilleann pipes in 2011 from Gay McKeon at workshops in Havana. There are now over 15 uilleann pipers in Havana and Pinar Del Rio and they undertake public performances regularly. Alexander learned how to make reeds for the uilleann pipes from Donnacha Dwyer who also visited Cuba and helps maintain the pipes for the other Cuban uilleann pipers. Alexander teaches Irish music on uilleann pipes and tin whistle to young people in Cuba.
