El Cuarteto de Nos are one of the longest surviving rock acts in Uruguay, with three and a half decades making irreverent rock behind them. The band was formed in the early 1980s by brothers Roberto and Ricardo Musso. The first performance of a group resembling of El Cuarteto de Nos was an acoustic show back in 1980 by the two brothers and bass guitarist Nicolas Tavella at the El Tinglado theatre. It wasn't until 1984 that the band began in earnest, however, when Alavaro Pintos signed on to play the drums.
They began to play venues around Montevideo and earned a reputation for their eccentric performances, thanks in no small part to a gig in 1985 when they stepped on stage with aluminium wrapped around their legs and balloons tied to their heads. That same year they released an eponymous collaboration with Alberto Wolf and in 1986 their first album proper, 'Soy una Arveja', debuted. In 1994 they had their biggest hit with the album 'Otra Navidad en las Trenches' was launched, reaching quadruple platinum status, a first for a Uruguayan band or act.
In 1996 the band found themselves at the centre of a controversy when their song 'El Día Que Artigas Se Emborrachó' attracted government scrutiny thanks to its allusions to the so-called 'founding father of Uruguay', José Gervasio Artigas. The album containing it, 'El Tren Bala', was delayed, and it was ultimately decided that the song could not be bought by minors and that during pre-watershed hours radios were not allowed to air it.
In 2009 Ricardo Musso left El Cuarteto, while Gustavo Antuña replaced him on guitar and keyboardist Santiago Marrero joined the line-up.
Since Musso's departure El Cuarteto have continued to put out albums, including 'Bipolar' (2009), 'Porfiado' (2012), 'Habla tu espejo' (2014) and 'Apocalipsis Zombi' (2017).
