about Best of José González y Criollo Clásico: Concierto a Puerto Rico
n the late 1970's there began a musical renaissance in Puerto Rico that inspired many young musicians to rediscover their cultural roots. Adding to this native element came the inevitable allure of other sounds such as classical music, blues, pop, jazz, rock, Brazilian, folk and world music. As we step into a new century the "Concierto a Puerto Rico" is once again heralding a bright future for Puerto Ricos national instrument El Cuatro.
Símbolo vivo y vibrante de nuestra cultura.
Fuerte, orgulloso y triunfante, nuestro cuatro puertorriqueño!
