More about  Cachao in San Francisco:

Cachao maintained a beautiful relationship with the San Francisco Bay community, where in 1989 he was a featured guest at the San Francisco Jazz Festival for the concert event, La Evolucion de la Musica Afro-Cubana featuring colleagues and collaborators including Alfredo “Chocolate” Armenteros, Orestes Vilató, Armando Peraza, Walfredo de los Reyes, and Carlos Santana, presented by John Santos and the Machete Ensemble and Coro Folklorico Kindembo.

Renown Cuban-American actor Andy Garcia, in town while working on the film Godfather III was in attendance that evening, met Cachao, and the rest is history: the two would work together on a number of projects over the years, including the film “Como Un Ritmo No Hay Dos“, and 2004’s ¡Ahora Sí! which won a Grammy Award for “Best Traditional Tropical Album“.

In Spring of 2005 Cachao would return to San Francisco for concerts at the Yerba Buena Garden Center and Bimbo’s 365 Club, which was filmed by San Francisco State University’s new DOC FILM INSTITUTE.

In Spring 2008 Cachao was scheduled to return for the premiere of “Cachao: Uno Mas” at the San Francisco International Film Festival , but it was not to be: after a brief illness, he passed away on the morning of March 22, 2008 in Miami, Florida. Radio Cuba Canta broadcast a tribute that evening. Our own C-Tone wrote his impressions at his website.

Just before Cachao‘s passing, San Francisco pianist  Rebeca Mauleon who has performed and recorded with el Maestro wrote an excellent article for Bass Player Magazine further examining Cachao’s music and technique, for future all musicians and students to discover.

Radio Cuba Canta– Saturday, June 30, 2012

Tonight, on RADIO CUBA CANTA we commemorate the 75th anniversary of the monster sessions of June 1937 when in Havana, Cuba a virtual “who’s-who” of cuban musicians were recorded by the RCA Victor label: Miguelito Valdes, Paulina Alvarez, Compay Segundo, Cheo Belen Puig, Belisario Lopez, Septeto Nacional, Orquesta Casino de la Playa, Sexteto Anacaona, Los Maravillas del Siglo (Cachao‘s first group with whom he made records) and many more, gathered in front of the RCA microphones and were preserved in wax.

Tonight we will hear the fruits of these sessions, 75 years after they were cut and released.
