Edwin Colón Zayasis the best cuatro player on this Planet Earth. No one even comes close to his supernatural, and preternatural talents.The cuatro is the national instrument of Puerto Rico and it is used very often in Jibaro ensembles. Edwin was born on October 27, 1965 in Orocovis, Puerto Rico. He is the eldest son of a family of five musicians. Edwin was responsible for saving the cuatro in the 1970s and 1980s, when it had fallen out of musical favor, and its very existence was being threatened. To listen and watch Edwin play the cuatro is pure magic. His left hand moves so gracefully that it is almost like a dance. In this edition of Heart Of The Guitar I am featuring Edwin Colón Zayas performing in two wonderful videos. Safe journeys to all the fans of Heart Of The Guitar, wherever you may be.
