Rodrigo "Pera" Cuadra Burgoa (born 2 August 1967) is a Chilean musician, TV presenter and movie critic. From 2011, he has worked as a panelist in the television show Sin vergüenza, from the Chilevisión open channel, where he comments on paranormal and strange topics.[1]
Cuadra is the founder, lead singer and bassist of the death metal and progressive metal band Dorso.[2]
As a musician, Cuadra is known by not using the bass just as an anchor instrument and part of the rhythm section, but expands its range in such a way that it takes center stage in songs like "Expelido del vientre" and "Alrededores del templo" from Bajo una luna Cámbrica, "Romance" from the same-titled album, and "Transformed in cocodrile" from Big Monster Aventura.[3][4]
In addition, Cuadra has participated in other musical projects:
- SQUAD: Between 1987 and 1989, Cuadra participated in SQUAD. He retired to devote himself to Dorso.
- Insectivadora: Project already has a recorded disc, expected to launch soon.
- Manifiesto: Gamal Eltit project. Currently on hold.
- Solo: According to Cuadra is "a more progressive metalhead project is a little stopped, but will return soon".
