LatinoLife Essentials: The Cuarteto Starter Pack

If you’re new to cuarteto, here’s your crash course. Ten tracks that trace the genre’s DNA — from barrio roots to TikTok fame. Unfortunately no videos available for Leonor Marzano or Quarteto Leo, so we start with La Mona Jimenez - a great place to start!

La Mona Jiménez – “Quién se ha tomado todo el vino”  

The ultimate anthem from the king himself. A party, a ritual, a religion.  


Jean Carlos – “Quiereme"

 The Dominican touch that gave cuarteto its tropical edge.  


Ulises Bueno – “Intento”  

One of the scene’s most beloved voices — raw, emotional, and massive live.  


Q’ Lokura – “Cuidado que te supero”  

Playlist regulars who push the sound into collab territory.  

 

La Banda de Carlitos – “Wacho Enamorado”  

Legendary for their live sets, this is barrio energy bottled.  


Ke Personajes – “Pobre Corazón”  

A streaming powerhouse that’s putting cuarteto into the new mainstream.  


DesaKTa2 Feat. Orgullo – “Tu Vas Sin”  

The collab kings, guaranteed to pop up on every cuarteto playlist.  

 

Luk Ra & Bizarrap – “Music Session #61”
