Mambo Creator Dies
March 24th, 2008 by Hannah
It seems like musicians are dropping like flies this past weekend. Here’s some sad news for Cubans and Latin music lovers all over the world. Israel Cachao Lopez has passed away in Miami this weekend. He died at the age of 89 years. Cachao was the legendary bassist who created the mambo. Such an accomplishment will never be forgotten or beaten. He pretty much paved the way for many Latin music artists currently out there. His influence on music is sure to live on forever. My condolences go out to Cachao’s family. May he rest in peace – and thank you!
