About

Ralph Alfonso

Label: BONGO BEAT
since circa 1995
With two books and four cds, Ralph Alfonso celebrates life's moments with understated snapshots of everyday victories, longings and nostalgia wrapped in musical morsels of jazz, folk, funk, and garage rock. A modern beatnik, Ralph's extensive pop culture resume includes journalist (Toronto Star, New York Rocker, etc), managing Canada's first punk club (Toronto's Crash 'n'Burn) and first Canadian punk band signed to a major (the Diodes), award-winning executive (Canadian promo director of the year) at three major labels (Attic, Warner, EMI), management (Honeymoon Suite), graphic designer (Blue Rodeo, Nettwerk, Bif Naked, Colin James, Mae Moore, etc), poet/author (RALPH:Coffee Jazz and Poetry zine), and performing artist (with the RALPH group, whose This Is For The Night People cd made Top 20 on Canadian campus radio and #5 on the campus jazz chart). His new book, This Is For The Night People, is on its second printing. As a photographer, his work is on cds by Bif Naked, Rhino Records, etc. A documentary on his life directed by Patrick Jenkins debuted at the 2001 Montreal Film Festival and aired nationally on CBC-TV, March 17, 2002. With 30 years in the music industry, Ralph has LOTS of stories to tell; recently contributing this expertise as Managing Editor of The Indie Band Bible, a book by Mark Makoway (Moist).

Ralph now resides in Montreal.
