Cachao Demonstrates Cuban Rhythms

This is from a television program broadcast in Miami in the 90's. I just rediscovered it. In this segment this famous Cuban bassist demonstrates some basic Cuban rhythms.

The Danzon sabroso . Had the privilege to see Cachao in New York City, Avery Fisher Hall play the danzon to standing ovations con Charlie Palmieri on piano and a symphony of violinist que bonito …..first time ever saw a bassist play bongos on the bass extraordinary….RIP

[@vergon6662]

When he starts slapping the side of the bass during 6 por 8 - that’s SO KILLER...

[@chocosidronio]

Vergón 666 "Como su ritmo no hay dos" He plays guaguanco on the side of the bass,

Viva la cultura cubana! Maestro Cachao!!!

[@baptistewxpolpodcast3339]

I've been a bass player for 10+ years but I'm only hearing about this guy now. So much left to explore ... !

[@chocosidronio]

Jaco Pastorious would say "Cachao was the best bass player in the world"

[@rogerfernandez3775]

[@johnrobinsoniii4028]

The only negative thing is the quality of the video.

[@cuneytsonmez]

I need a 3D spectacle.

[@ryanmcallister2321]

Great stuff, but looks like I need a new prescription.

[@rogerTitohotmama]

dope

[@yzimsx]

Nice! But it's cheating when your bass has 15 strings like that guy.

[@rogerfernandez3775]

Oh yeah? Try it.

Dang, I came here looking for some 6/8 stuff. That's just about the only thing he didn't play! ;) (If anyone knows where I can find 6/8 Afro-Cuban grooves, please let me know, thanks!) Absolute gem of a video. I know I'll come back to it again and again. Thanks for uploading. :D

[@juanpizano85]

[@toniodemonio]

is this a lynch movie?

[@ClintTorres607]

If you’re a bass player I feel as though if a dude like this is giving advice, you may wanna listen.

[@bmas9278]

Faltó el mambo, hablar con el creador del mambo y no mencionarlo?
