The Cuarteto Characterístico, or simply Cuarteto, is a genre of popular music from the city of Córdoba (Argentina). It is characterized by a happy and active rhythm.

In its beginnings, in the 1940s, it was associated almost exclusively with the lower class and the marginal sectors, being despised by the middle and upper classes. However, in the 1990s the quartet achieved greater diffusion in the rest of the country, thus beginning a process of acceptance by all sectors of Argentine society, a transformation of public opinion that has been consolidated over time.
