Fabiola Méndez is a Puerto Rican cuatro virtuoso, singer, educator, and Emmy-nominated composer. Her artistic vision and original music focus on the exploration of her culture, her ancestry, and her identities. Native to Caguas, PR, Méndez began playing the cuatro, Puerto Rico's national instrument, at the age of six. She got her early music trainings at the Antonio Paoli School of Music in Caguas and her Bachelor of Music from Berklee College of Music, where, in 2018, she made history as the first graduate to play the Puerto Rican cuatro as principal instrument. Méndez's mission is to share and celebrate the cuatro, folk music, and collective storytelling. She has performed at venues such as the NPR Tiny Desk, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Celebrity Series of Boston, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Fred Rogers Productions, and Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña, among many others.
