Zayas is a virtuoso of the cuatro, the steel-stringed guitar of Puerto Rican musica jibara -- country music. His Taller Campesino is a first-rate lineup of four instrumentalists steeped in this exciting musical tradition which is unique in all the world. Joined here by the voice of award-winning trovador Arturo Santiago, Jr., Edwin Colon selected a variety of traditional songs and instrumental pieces to interest the novice and the connoisseur alike -- and performs them with state-of-the-art perfection.
