4Jibaro proudly presents the Cuatro Series Learning System! This complete package will take you on a journey that will begin the day you receive this and will go on to become a legacy you will, no doubt pass on to your grandchildren. Such is the power and beauty of the Cuatro Puerto Rico!


This series is the fruit of years of loving effort, intensified by a single-minded dedication to revive the Puerto Rican Cuatro, and those efforts have been rewarded by your purchase. This learning system is a culmination of sorts for Samuel Ramos, proud Puerto Rican and cuatro player, in his efforts to renew the heritage of Puerto Rico and its musical elements.


Preserve the rich heritage of Puerto Rico by channeling your interest in the cuatro and transform it into a celebrated instrument. Start playing the cuatro at every party, every do and every parranda. We hope you will contribute your bit to bringing the cuatro into the spotlight!


Most of the music you will see in the books has been transcribed on paper for the first time in history. Many of them are old tunes, family songs and classic themes. But these treasures haven’t been given their place in the  music books until now. Samuel has dug up tons of these songs and put them together for you to learn. This is his way of preserving his beloved Puerto Rican traditions!

Written in standard notation and tablature (TAB) format, the books in the learning series are perfect for those who have a dedicated desire to learn to play the Cuatro. The series covers a range of instructional books that will help guide your musical abilities and transform them into genius!
