Cuarteto Guataca is a New York City based band specializing in Son Cubano and salsa, founded in 2014 by Josh Levine and Jainardo Batista. In Spring of 2020 with all venues closed, the band started playing in the parks and on the streets of NYC to the delight of dancers and music lovers. Before long, word got around that the band had a big and original sound. Now Cuarteto Guataca is one of the most in demand bands in the Big Apple.
The first verse is a true story about a gig we had at the django nyc on May 5, 2021. We are proud of this song because it is a true collaboration. Everyone in the band contributed something original to the final product
