Cachao was one of many influential musicians in my life that I really started listening to with the aim of getting closer to my family heritage. Along with the golden age of hiphop, the sounds of my mambo added vibrant color to my childhood. Below is an excerpt from the Miami Herald article:
Known to the world simply by his nickname -- Cachao -- bassist, composer and bandleader Israel López died Saturday morning at Coral Gables Hospital of complications resulting from kidney failure. He was 89.
Cachao was one of the most important living figures in Cuban music, on or off the island, and ''arguably the most important bassist in twentieth-century popular music,'' according to Cuban-music historian Ned Sublette. He not only innovated Cuban music but also influenced the now familiar bass lines of American R&B, ''which have become such a part of the environment that we don't even think where they came from,'' Sublette said.
