Cuarteto Santa Ana is an emblematic folk group known for championing the Chamamé genre, a style of music that originates from the northeastern region of Argentina. Chamamé blends European polka roots with Guarani (indigenous people of South America) rhythms and Spanish lyrics, creating a sound that is both soulful and dance-inducing. The ensemble was founded in 1933 by the legendary accordionist and composer Ernesto Montiel, revered as one of the forefathers of Chamamé, and his legacy was carefully carried on by subsequent generations.

Throughout their storied career, Cuarteto Santa Ana has become synonymous with preserving and spreading the traditions of Chamamé. Their discography showcases the evolution of the genre, with albums such as "Puro Chamamé," and "20 Superéxitos Originales," which display a mastery of their craft and an unwavering commitment to their cultural heritage. Works like "De Don Ernesto Montiel A Carlos Talavera" pay homage to their roots and the transformative figures in their history, while albums such as "Los Alazanes," "Estancia Soledad," and "El Rancho Solo" reflect the group's prolific output and deep connection to the rural and earthy themes often explored in their music. With anthems like “Los Cantores de Montiel,” Cuarteto Santa Ana has solidified their status as cultural icons, ensuring the spirit of Chamamé continues to resonate with new generations.
