“El Cuatro Está Pegao” solidifies their tradition of Christmas and parranda music, following the previous successes “Salsa Con Trova En Navidad” and “Mi Tremendo Parrandón”. The song, an original composition by Prodigio Claudio with arrangements by Claudio and trombonist Luis Gines, promises to captivate fans of Latin folk music, Christmas music, and salsa, with the potential to become an instant holiday classic.
“Every artist should dare to succeed with versatility, betting on their vision and collaborating to bring joy to a demanding audience that seeks Salsa Nueva while honoring their roots,” state the producers. This track masterfully blends the sound of yesterday with today’s, proving why the Puerto Rican cuatro is not only “pegao” due to its recent global exposure, but has been the heart of Puerto Rican music for years.
Edwin “El Calvito” Reyes, hailed as one of the New Faces of Salsa and an Ambassador of the New Salsa Generation after his explosive performance at the National Salsa Day, continues to exemplify leadership and professionalism. Meanwhile, Maestro Prodigio Claudio, recognized as “El Cuatro Nacional de Puerto Rico” with over 45 years of experience, travels the world spreading the island’s culture, currently touring with the legendary Willie Colón.
“El Cuatro Está Pegao” was recorded at Con Clase Studios in Oviedo, FL, and Master Music Studios in Chicago, IL, under the Con Clase Records & PCD Rriqueño LLC label. Get ready to dance and sing along to the cuatro’s new anthem!
