Cantamos is the seventh studio album by the country rock band Poco. It was released in 1974 on 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 version the album was also released in a 4 channel quadraphonic edition on LP on 8-track tape in 1974. The quad LP release was encoded with the SQ matrix system.

The album was reissued in the UK on the Super Audio CD format in 2018 by 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.
