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
Esto es lo mas increible,este gran bajista...fijate cuantos ritmos son Cubano!!-y aqui solo te dan alginos!! Cuba, la Cuna la musica Latina-Caribena!!!!
Mis respetos y gran admiración para el Gran Maestro, El único y original, el Señor Israel Lopez "Cachao" . Vine aquí a beber de la fuente de la sabiduría.
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

When he starts slapping the side of the bass during 6 por 8 - that’s SO KILLER...
Vergón 666 "Como su ritmo no hay dos" He plays guaguanco on the side of the bass,
Viva la cultura cubana!
Maestro Cachao!!!
I've been a bass player for 10+ years but I'm only hearing about this guy now. So much left to explore ... !
Jaco Pastorious would say "Cachao was the best bass player in the world"

Why is this not on every channel? Very very few bass players are that good.
E Gormley Very few? " He was the best!!!!
I wholeheartedly agree. And you should hear him with the Bow!

Great demo. Love his percussive rhythm. Adam Ben Ezra percussive style is beautiful as well.
Oh my God. Amazing
Great stuff, but looks like I need a new prescription.
THANK YOU DENVER COLORADO ...
Muito
Bom
I need a 3D spectacle.
The only negative thing is the quality of the video.
Nice! But it's cheating when your bass has 15 strings like that guy.
Oh yeah? Try it.
LEGEND
Very cool!
One of the greatest musicians to come out of Cuba.

Son de la loma.
Faltó el mambo, hablar con el creador del mambo y no mencionarlo?
is this a lynch movie?
If you’re a bass player I feel as though if a dude like this is giving advice, you may wanna listen.
