Brief history of the Venezuelan Cuatro
The Venezuelan Cuatro, also called Cuatro llanero, Cuatro traditional, Cuatro criollo or simply Cuatro, is a pulsed string instrument that has four orders tuned at the rate of: A, D, F# and B, the peculiar tuning – not totally ascending – It is a very distinctive element of other stringed instruments. It belongs to the family of the old Spanish guitars, is small and owes its name to the number of strings it has. Not to be confused with the current Cuatro Puerto Rican of five orders and ten metal strings.
It is a typical and the most emblematic instrument of Venezuelan music. It is used in both rural and urban areas. Its nylon strings produce a beautiful, melancholic but sober sound. It is executed as an accompanying instrument or as a solo instrument. This last form of execution has undergone a remarkable development in the last decades.
In Venezuela it is executed almost in all the folkloric musical genres: the gaita zuliana, the calipso of The Callao, the villancicos, the aguinaldos and the parranda, the galerón, the polo, the jota, the malagueña, the vals, the merengue, the música cañonera, the música campesina, the paso doble, the fulía, the tonada, the polca, the ritmo orquídea, the emblematic harp joropo, cuatro and maracas, among others.
