My name is Orlando Lopez "Cachaito".
I'd like to tell you a bit about how i began working in music.
I began when I was nine years old.
At eleven, I started playing with an orchestra directed by my aunt...
...Coralia Lopez, another Cachao.
Starting with my great-grandfather, we were all bassists.
I was even going to study violin, but my grandfather told me...
..."No, it has to be bass."
It was, well, one of those things...
I was a little afraid of the bass, but it was a matter of adapting to it...
...getting familiar to that instrument.
My style of playing is to concentrate myself...
It's that I like music so much.
As I had worked in classical music and all other genres.
I feel, oh. I don't know...
I guess playing music is like a game.
I was in many orchestras back then, and that's where i met Rubén.
I had played with a lot of pianists, but he was the one i was missing.
Now, it turns out we're a great pair.
The best of all my skills is that I have a good ear.
Besides my ability to sight-read anything, I learn it fast.
So, any note he might play, I already have it in mind.
