Post Description

Cuarteto Patria is a musical group from Santiago de Cuba. It was founded in 1939 by Francisco Cobas la O (Pancho Cobas),[1] who was the director, along with Emilia Gracia, Rigoberto Hechaverría (Maduro), and Rey Caney (Reinaldo Hierrezuelo la O).[2] The group's original style was traditional trova, which included boleros and some música campesina (countryside music). Over time, both the members and the music evolved, and Eliades Ochoa also became a member of the group.
