Luisito Quintero live in New York

Experience Luisito Quintero live on September 19th

Luisito Quintero is scheduled to perform in Times Square, New York City, on September 19, 2026. Quintero is a Venezuelan percussionist renowned for his mastery of the *cuatro*, a four-stringed instrument central to Venezuelan *joropo* music. His musical style blends traditional Venezuelan folk with influences from jazz, pop, and other Latin American rhythms, creating a vibrant and energetic sound. He frequently incorporates complex percussion arrangements and showcases the versatility of the *cuatro* beyond its traditional role.

Times Square itself is a major commercial intersection, tourist destination, entertainment center and neighborhood in Midtown Manhattan. Historically a horse trading area in the 19th century, it was renamed in 1904 after *The New York Times* moved its headquarters there. The area became a hub for theaters at the turn of the 20th century – earning it the nickname "The Great White Way" – and later evolved into a symbol of New Year’s Eve celebrations with the annual ball drop. Today, Times Square is characterized by brightly lit billboards and large video displays, attracting millions of visitors annually.
