So I got this cuatro a few years back in Aruba...and I decided that it was finally time to make a video with it. Is it against the rules to abandon the typical cuatro style of playing?

So, that's what a cuatro sounds like, eh? I like it. Very good voice as well! Thanks for posting this.

You sound great, as usual! Are cuatros strung with nylon strings?

Thanks guys!! and Seeso, Yep, nylon... They're fun!!! Mine is a cheaply touristy thing, but sounds good enough and is fun to play ... I need to learn some authentic sounding tunes, though

Cool! Well done. Growing up in the Caribbean, the Cuatro was a main part of the Latin Parang music during the Christmas season. Can't say I've heard it played the way you did but it sounded great. Thanks for sharing that.
