Album Notes & Community Reviews

The only solo album from the legendary Buena Vista Social Club bassist, 'Cachaito' is a vibrant, deeply rhythmic celebration of Afro-Cuban traditions. The instrumental recording merges classic mambo and descarga styles with subtle, modern production techniques, resulting in a wonderfully calm and mellow jazz experience.
