Join us at the 3rd Annual Festival Del Cuatro in California
Mi Gente,
The countdown begins! We are merely 5 1/2 weeks away from what stands to be one of our best shows. The Festival Del Cuatro organization proudly presents the 3rd Annual Festival Del Cuatro in California. It is a tribute to Puerto Rican women and all women who struggle in supporting a cause. And what better way but to lead by example and bring some of the top performers of the Puerto Rican cuatro.
It's no coincidence that these wonderful performers happen to be women. This was a deliberate attempt at saying, "yes we can". Just as these women have said for all these years developing their performing skills with the National instrument of Puerto Rico. This years line up starts with a wonderful performance from Nelian Colon. Performing some of the more traditional music from Puerto Rico in the cuatro and tiple. Followed by Maribel Delgado. One of our great young cuatristas directly from Camuy, Puerto Rico. Maribel will entertain you with her rhythmic and lively style that will surely get your body going. During Maribel's show we have a wonderful surprise. A young performer at merely 12 yrs old. Her name is Fabiola. This young cuatrista should be an example and serve as encouragement to our children. Fabiola is currently recording in the next Banco Popular Music CD. WOW!! Keep a lookout for our next communication within the next few days. We will be giving you bio's of the performers and links to see some pics and videos.
And last but not least! One of Puerto Rico's pioneering women to use the Puerto Rican cuatro as her instrument of choice. Emma Colon Zayas, has performed all across the US, Latin America and other parts of the world. With her instrument she brings us that feeling of all things Puerto Rican. Close your eyes and listen to her melodies that will transport you to the beautiful Island of Puerto Rico.
To back all of these wonderful ladies, we will have Edwin Colon Zayas y su Taller Campesino. This will be an evening you don't want to miss. Go to www.festivaldelcuatro.org and get your tickets now. Don't be left out. This years event will be on Saturday November 15, 2008 at :

By the way, did we tell you that this year as a fundraiser we will be raffling off a professional Puerto Rican cuatro signed by all the performers? No need to say, but the value of this instruments is expected to be somewhere in the $3000-$5000. Don't miss your chance at this beautiful instrument, an heirloom of our rich culture. More details to come!! Stay Tuned!
