“Israel ”Cachao” López, Cuba’s most revered living musician, began thumping his bass professionally at age 9.
Saturday night, Cachao, 89, celebrates the 80th anniversary of his career with a concert at the Carnival Center for the Performing Arts, accompanied by a roster of guest artists, from Willy Chirino to ex-Santana percussionist Orestes Vilató.
Cachao is a seasoned trouper. For 80 years, he has been plucking his bass at venues as varied as opera and ballet halls, movie palaces, seedy bars, recording studios, and, a couple of nights ago, a free concert in Medellín for 10,000 fans of all ages.”
