Composer, arranger, vocalist, tres and guitar player Arturo Jorge was born in September 1963 in the town of San Rafael, located in the valley of the Rio Cauto, in the middle eastern region of Cuba, the birth place of Cuban traditional music son and son montuno. His songs and poems portray the simple rural life of Eastern Cuba and reflect his early childhood as a farmer's son. He also touches on local issues reflecting the real matters of an ever changing Cuba and at times this can stir public opinion. He plays a double guitar that he calls an octatres, made up of eight strings and a separate three double strings (6 altogether), to achieve greater beauty in timbre and harmony, when it comes to singing his songs. This is a unique instrument that Arturo created himself and he is the only musician to play it.
