Cuatro Puertorriqueno

Cuatro puertorriqueño refers not to a stand-alone music genre but to a music style centered around the Puerto Rican cuatro, a ten-stringed instrument revered in the island's folk traditions. This style is embedded within various Puerto Rican genres such as jíbaro music, música navideña, and trovador music. The cuatro's distinctive, high-pitched, and resonant sound is masterfully employed in melodic and rhythmic roles, often driving the music and infusing it with a joyful or poignant quality. Artists adept in the cuatro puertorriqueño tradition, like Edwin Colon Zayas and Maso Rivera, seamlessly blend virtuoso technique with heartfelt expression, reflecting Puerto Rico's rich cultural tapestry through intricate improvisations and complex chordal harmonies that celebrate the island's history, struggles, and festivities.
