Classical Music for the Cuatro Puertorriqueño

Elevate your artistry and redefine the boundaries of the Cuatro Puertorriqueño

The Challenge of Classical Cuatro

Most classical resources are written for the guitar or violin. For the cuatrista, this often means struggling with awkward fingerings, difficult transcriptions, and a lack of clear guidance on how to maintain the instrument's unique "flavor" while honoring the classical tradition.
