Jibaro, me acuerda tanto mi infancia, soy panameño, pero eran los tiempos cunado Panam y Puerto Rico eran como un solo país, como hermanitos en cuanto salsa y amistad se refiere, ahora seguimos siendo hermanos pero más de legitos.

Que infancia.

[ealvelo66]

Gigi, you are amazing!! 

[iriana1189]

@ealvelo66 -Thank you Tio! :)

[jobfox5]

@ealvelo66 What is your name cutie.

[LuisVal03]

I think I'm in love. Where'd you get your cuatro from? I'm looking for a place I can find a reliable one that I will still be in love with years from now.

[iriana1189]

@LuisVal03 -I got my cuatro from Puerto Rico but I don't know exactly where because my abuelo went to the cuatro maker to get it for me.

[LuisVal03]

@iriana1189 -Oh because I sent a message just today to a man named Freddy Burgos who's located there. Ever heard of him? He seems to have some high praise. Do you know about how much it costs? I'm just desperate to get my hands on one and get started. I have melodies in my head that I'm anxious to get out on a cuatro. oh and also, you're hot.

[XxDaSicK3sTxX]

[eliebonilla]

y que tiene que ver el reggeaton con el cuatro puertorriqueno? los dos son de pr

[puertorricane]

lol primero que nada era un chiste y segundo que el cuatro es algo que pertenece a la cultura de PR tu no puedes comparar el cuatro con el reggaeton
