DESCRIPTION:Beat Tape Matinee III\n\n\n\n\nUnCommon Corner\, Boylston St &\, Tremont St\, Boston\, MA 02116\n\n\n\nNative to Caguas\, PR\, Fabiola began playing the cuatro\, Puerto Rico’s national instrument\, at six. She got her early music training at the Antonio Paoli School of Music in Caguas and her Bachelor’s in Music from Berklee College of Music\, where in 2018\, she made history as the first graduate to play the Puerto Rican cuatro as the principal instrument. \n\n\n\nFabiola’s mission has always been to share and celebrate the cuatro\, folk music\, and collective story-telling. In doing so\, she’s had the honor of performing at venues such as the NPR Tiny Desk\, Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC\, Celebrity Series of Boston\, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival\, Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña\, among many others.
