I am looking at the cover of the Cuarteto's RCA-Victor LP (LPM-1532 "An Evening at the Sans-Souci"), and find that the members of the group are not listed by the names claimed in the present article. I have no way to check which version is correct (or maybe both at different times?), so I just put the quote here rather than edit the article, which I leave to people better-versed in the subject. Here's the LP liner notes:
"Cuarteto D'Aida was formed in Cuba by Miss Aida Izquierdo, from whom the group takes its name. In addition to Miss Izquierdo there is Elena Burque, whose warm voice gives a mellow touch to the quartet; Omara Portuondo, whose playful charm adds a merry note to the songs; and Moraima Portuondo, who contributes a lyric quality to the ensemble."
No mention thus of Aida DIESTRO, Moraima SECADA, nor HAYDÉE Portuondo. Could the last "two" be the same person under different names? Note that the current Wiki article gives FIVE members for a QUARTET! Diestro might be the married name of Izquierdo, or vice versa.
Notably the LP dates from 1957, when Cuba was still a free country, and is thus likely to contain truthful info untainted by the censorship machinations and propaganda lies of the subsequent communist-terrorist regime.
