| Pedro Zamora | Congas II | Pedro recently began playing the congas, however, has developed quickly as an amazing conguero and also joins the band frequently to hold down the congas
|
| Benjamin Arredondo | Guiro, Bongos | Benjamin brings TREMENDOUS energy as a front man to the band, his combination of guiro or cowbell with front stage presence and dancing offer Son Quatro the edge to keep ANY crowd focused on a good time.

|
| Giovanni Ponce | Lead Vocals | Giovanni also adds a New York energy to the band and recently started singing with Son Quatro. Once you hear him, its no wonder why Willie Colon picked him out to sing harmony for his band in New York.
