“Israel “Cachao” Lopez was born some 88 years ago in the same house where the father of Cuban independence, Jose Marti, had lived. Every Jan. 28, Marti’s birthday, Cachao and his family had to leave Calle Paula at 6 a.m. and stay away from the house until 9 p.m. to allow schools from all over Havana to conduct field trips into his home. This happened every year until his family moved out and the Cuban government made the house a historic monument.
At the age of 12, Cachao had made his debut with the Havana Philharmonic, standing on a wooden box playing the contrabass alongside his brother Orestes, a founding member of the orchestra.”
