Angel ‘Cachete’ Maldonado was born in Santurce, Puerto Rico on Oct. 16, 1951. His father Rubén, was a respected orchestra bassist which also appeared repeatedly in the early days of local television. Cachete began his musical studies with formal piano lessons, but had an early inclination to percussion and went under the tutelage of drummer Julio ‘Maco’ Rivera. His curiosity of Afro-Cuban music, led him to the batá drums, and their religious and spiritual connotations. He would later expand his expertise on these instruments, but first followed the traditional role of accompanying salsa bands as a conga and bongo player. Master percussionist Cachete Maldonado’s contribution to the recognition and advancement of Afro- Caribbean music has garnered him well deserved celebrity status. The 2010 release of “Rumba Boricua Campesina,” (Bata Records) with his ensemble Cachete Maldonado y Los Majaderos, maintains the high standards this innovative musician has established.
