Angee and his siblings developed a passion for music through their father, Grmaud, who was a shoe-maker and listened to Argentinian <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tango<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bolero<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> music. He taught them to play the guitar and sing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI had a punk attitude and approach to music,\u201d Angee said. \u201cI just grabbed a drum and started playing. Just by nature of doing things over and over, you get the gist of it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Angee, who was undocumented, moved to the United States when he was 12. He enrolled as a freshman at Miami Killian Senior High School and taught himself to play the drums a year later. His music career began at 17 when he approached five students in the school\u2019s hallway and pitched an idea to play music at his house.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFor me and for my friends, music grew out of necessity and desire,\u201d Angee said. \u201cBeing immigrants we understood how systems oppressed and manipulated people. We thought it was important to represent that in our music.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They formed a Spanish rock band called Estacion Local<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The group recorded four studio albums, the latest one entitled <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fauna <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in 2015. They\u2019ve been the opening act for Spanish rock bands such as Aterciopelados, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, and Amigos Invisibles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The band, made up of immigrants, served as a vehicle to vent about capitalism and political corruption in the early 2000\u2019s.<\/span><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe understood how systems oppressed and manipulated people,\u201d Angee said. \u201cSo we thought it was important to talk about that.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the band struggled as several members failed to show up to practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2006, the band underwent a transformation. They changed their name to Minimal, broke away from their political roots and changed structurally. Jorge Moreno, the lead singer, and bass player Sonia Perez left the band. Gabriel Ayala switched from guitar to lead singer and bass player Emilio Cartier and guitar player Roberto Taninaka came on as new additions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although Angee is still a member of the band, they only play together occasionally.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Getting An Education<\/b><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17161\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17161\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-17161\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AlejandroAngee15_web.jpg\" alt=\"Professor Angee speaking with bicyclists. \" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AlejandroAngee15_web.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AlejandroAngee15_web-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AlejandroAngee15_web-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17161\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bike Fanatic: Alejandro Angee talks about his love for bicycles with two cyclists outside building three at Wolfson Campus. <br \/>VANESSSA GIMENEZ \/ THE REPORTER<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Angee graduated with an associate\u2019s degree in psychology from Miami Dade College in 2001, the same year he became a U.S. citizen.

I wasn\u2019t playing, I didn\u2019t even have my drumset,\u201d Angee said. \u201cI bought a drum practice pad and drumsticks and started listening to jazz, training my hands.
