¡P’alante CCO and Puerto Rico!

October 13, 2015 CCO at River Grove Library
Author: Jose Vazquez
It was an absolute great pleasure to have been invited to perform at the River Grove Library's 'Hispanic Heritage Month'.
The Chicago Cuatro Orchestra was honored to perform in front of the community locals. With the opportunity presented, we took the time to educate the audience with a cultural background of Puerto Rico's national instrument 'The Cuatro' and it's jibaro (folkloric) music. Thank you so much to the River Grover staff members, Lance Anderson, Anastasia Daskalos and Jazmin Bravo for their wonderful hospitality.
