***Cantamos*** is the seventh studio album by the [country rock](/source/Country_rock) band [Poco](/source/Poco_(band)). It was released in 1974 on [Epic Records](/source/Epic_Records). This album saw the band moving back towards their traditional country rock sound after experimenting with a harder style on the previous album.

## Release history

In addition to the conventional 2 channel [stereo](/source/Stereo) version the album was also released in a 4 channel [quadraphonic](/source/Quadraphonic_sound) edition on [LP](/source/LP_record) on [8-track tape](/source/8-track_tape) in 1974. The quad LP release was encoded with the [SQ matrix](/source/Stereo_Quadraphonic) system.

The album was reissued in the UK on the [Super Audio CD](/source/Super_Audio_CD) format in 2018 by [Dutton Vocalion](/source/Dutton_Vocalion). This edition is a 2 albums on 1 disc compilation which also contains the 1974 Poco album *Seven*. The Dutton Vocalion release contains the complete stereo and quad mixes of both albums.
