Synopsis
A portrait of Cuban musician Israel "Cachao" Lopez. In the 1940s, Cachao, with his brother Orestes, brought the rhythm section to the forefront of the sedate Cuban danzon, and in the process, virtually invented modern Cuban music. In the 1950s, Cachao popularized descargas--raucous jam sessions that brought together legendary Cuban musicians. Now nearly 90, the unstoppable Cachao recalls his boyhood forays into music and the days when musicians often performed without pay simply for the love of song.
