Cuarteto Patria
Cuarteto Patria achieved international success after guitarist and tres player Eliades Ochoa assumed leadership. Santiago de Cuba- born Ochoa is joined by vocalist and maracas player Maria Emilia Garcia, guitarist Pancho Cobas and Francisco Coba La.
The group expanded its early bolero and criolla repertoire to include a dance-inspiring mix of son montuno, guaracha and guajira.
Cuarteto Patria was featured on Ochoa's solo albums, including his masterpiece, Sublime Illusion, a Grammy nominee in the category of “best traditional tropical and Latin performance of 1999". A Una Coqueta is the first release since Eliades Ochoa's arrival.
