About Me
Born on July 15th, 1983, in Santiago de Cuba, Alain Samada discovered his passion for rhythm at an early age. After moving to Havana with his family, he joined the school band at the age of nine, beginning a lifelong journey in percussion. Under the mentorship of the renowned timbal player Daniel Díaz Vila (former member of Ritmo Oriental), he mastered snare drum technique and developed deep musical discipline. He continued his studies at the Fernando Carnicer Music School and later graduated from the prestigious Amadeo RoldánConservatory, where his passion for drums flourished under César Rivero,Roberto Concepsión,Agustin Gomez,Mauricio Gutierrez 's guidance. His training included service in the Cuban Military Band and advanced studies at the University of the Arts (ISA), which he completed in 2010 with a highly acclaimed graduation concert. Beyond technique, Alain’s life and art were transformed by faith. After a personal encounter with God during his teenage years, his music gained new purpose — to express gratitude and share divine love through sound. For Alain, music is more than rhythm and melody; it is a language of the soul — one that, when touched by the divine, can soften even the hardest heart and lead it to the love of its Creator.
