Rich cuban music and cortaditos at Versailles are two of the things typical only of Miami that I miss so much. I wish I could be there. Cachao is definitely a legend whose music I admire and enjoy.

Great article - Cachao is truly a musical legend. I love seeing Andy Garcia embrace his roots and really create and promote this art in celebration of his culture - I can't wait to see the movie! Not to mention the concert tomorrow - I have tickets!

Cachao is a living legend and Andy Garcia's involvement with Cachao has served to keep his music relevant and exposed to the newer generations.
Both are great Cubans.
