My name is Orlando Lopez 'Cachaito'
:55:10
I want to tell you how
I became a musician

:55:14
I started playing I was nine
:55:17
When I was 1 1 , I joined
my aunt's orchestra

:55:24
Starting with my great-grandfather,
we all play the bass in the family

:55:28
I was going to study the violin
:55:31
But my grandfather said I had to
play the bass. You know how it is

:55:37
I was a bit of afraid of the bass
:55:41
But in the end I got used to it
:55:45
My style of playing is...
:55:49
Well, I need to concentrate.
I love this instrument

:55:53
I've studied classical music,
every genre

:55:58
I don't know, to me music
is like a game

:56:08
I've played with many orchestras
in my time

:56:14
And this is how I met Ruben
:56:16
I'd played with so many pianists,
And he was the only one missing

:56:20
Now it turns out we're a great duo
:56:24
My great strength is that
I have a good ear

:56:28
I can also sight-read very fast
:56:32
So before he plays a note,
I already have it in mind
