Cachao siempre vivira, estara hoy tocando con TPuente y TRodriguez en altas esferas.
Will this film be on DVD? where can one buy it.
Thanks
You know, I think that his loss would be even greater if you folks didn’t give us the chance to sit at the same table with him and listen to him talk, even if it’s from this far away (and we’re not allowed to ask questions). We’re at our best, when we learn from the best.
No small thanks to you.
Qué maravilloso musico y persona. Un verdadero regalo musical para el mundo. I wish I could purchase this DVD. It would be a fantastic resource for my class. Thank you for this wonderful video of Sr. Cachao!
