Cuatro Contest
The Western Region Puerto Rican Council once again proudly presents another segment of our “first” contest. Last year it was the first “Coquito” contest, the prior year it was the first “arroz con gandules” contest and this year we are featuring our first amateur “Cuatro” Contest! The contest will take place at our 39th annual El “DDSJ” Salsa festival on the main stage where the “attendees” of the festival will be the judges!
If you would like to participate in this contest or know someone who can proudly showcase their Cuatro talents, please spread the word!
