Alexis Cuadrado

Alexis Cuadrado is a Barcelona-born, Brooklyn-based composer, producer, and bassist whose music thrives at the intersection of jazz, world traditions, and modern production. Known for his deeply narrative approach, he crafts works that balance emotional storytelling with bold sonic exploration. Over three decades, Cuadrado has performed and recorded with artists such as Angélique Kidjo, Youssou N’Dour, Dianne Reeves, Omara Portuondo, and Jon Batiste. His six acclaimed albums as a bandleader and his “Silent Film Scores for Social Justice” series have been praised for combining innovation with conscience — reimagining century-old films through contemporary sound. In 2025, Cuadrado launched The Plaza Roja, a multi-branch creative ecosystem encompassing a Dolby Atmos-ready studio, a record label, and a publishing division. From composing for podcasts and films to producing immersive releases for other artists, he continues to push sound forward while honoring its roots. Cuadrado’s music invites listeners into a space where rhythm, emotion, and social reflection meet — a sound that is as global as it is personal.
