Biography
Bachaco is a multicultural band formed by three Venezuelans, one Jamaican, one Colombian and guest musicians from all over the world!.
"The band has an equally diverse set of musical interests and influences. The sound: a laid-back strain of reggae, Latin funk, hip-hop, ska, and cumbia, plus other, even more eclectic world rhythms. It's a formula that has worked perfectly so far. The minute the band was ready to play shows, it scored an opening slot in front of Latin Grammy nominees Locos por Juana, who, in turn, are helping out in the production of Bachaco's first album. The group has performed at local events such as the Argentinean Festival and Rock the Dock in Spanish. In October, the band's "La Muerte" was chosen as Song of the Week by Venezuelan radio show Rockea en Español." (Source: Miami New Times)
In addition, the group has performed at major events such as the Argentinean Festival, Rock the Dock in Spanish, Kaleidoscope Festival 2008 and has been the Main Act at Florida International University's annual Hispanic Heritage Carnival and Miami's renowned 8th Street "Viernes Culturales" (Alternative Stage)
Recently they were featured on MySpace Latino music section for Latin/Reggae Band of the Week next to Latin Grammy winners Camila and renowned reggaeton artists Alex y Fido.
As of now, the band is currently recording their first album and is expected for the fall of 2008.
What is a Bachaco?
The word Bachaco (BAH-SHA-KO) is the name given to a Leafcutter Ant in Venezuela. The same type of ant is found accross that Amazon Rainforest and in countries such as Panama, Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil. The insect is used by Venezuelan indians to create a "picante" (hot sauce). In other words, Bachaco's music is the Hot Sauce of today!
Members
Bruce
Trumpet
Name: Bruce / Role: Trumpet and Vocals / Age: 17 / Hometown: Colombia Bio: Since playing trumpet was not enough, Bruce was given the task of being the MC and providing a hip-hop flavor to Bachaco's already hot music. This young promise of the trumpet was chosen one of the best trumpet players in all of Miami Dade's County Public Schools.
Sunday
Drums
Name: Domingo / Role: Drummer / Age: 18 / Hometown: Venezuela Bio: He is also interchangeably called Sunday because of his Spanish name, but he is not as boring as most Sundays. Watch him play and you'll see by yourself, he's always with a smile on when on stage.
Eddy
Vocals
Name: Eddy / Role: Lead Singer / Age: 19 / Hometown: Venezuela Bio: Band founder, lead singer, song writer and main engine for the band. At age 19, after having tried singing for two different rock bands with his brother Jose, for whom he's written and co-written many other rock songs, he finally realized his true inspiration came from Reggae and World Music.
Jose
Guitar
Name: Jose / Role: Guitar and Trumpet, Vocals / Age: 16 / Hometown: Venezuela Bio: Since very little Jose has had a great talent for music. He is not only able to play the Guitar but if you are lucky, you'll see him switch back and forth to the Trumpet as well. He also has a Rock band along with Domingo called "Last Summer" in which he plays guitar and is the lead singer.
Matt
Guitar, Vocals
Name: Matt / Role: Guitar and Vocals / Age: 17 / Hometown: Jamaica Bio: When it comes to guitar solos and making guitars cry this Jimmy Hendrix lover knows what he is doing. While he also adds his Jamaican feeling to the way he plays the guitar, the true Jamaican comes out when it's time for him to sing, he does all of the ragamuffin!
