Guateque Campesino is a Cuban folk song composed and performed by Celia Romero. It first appeared in 1955 on the Kubaney release Fiesta Cubana, which showcases Romero’s rural, folkloric style. The track is rooted in traditional Cuban guajiro and son montuno influences, and its title evokes a lively country party and the everyday joys of rural life. In later years the piece has been reissued on compilations such as Cubanisimas, Vol. 1 (2016), helping to preserve Romero’s work for new audiences. Although some listings on YouTube link the track to Guillermo Portabales, the original composer and voice is Celia Romero.
