Cachito
Drummer and percussionist Juan Pastor’s fourth and latest release, Cachito, shines in its maturity and emotional depth. The album highlights not only Pastor’s unique artistic voice and compositional prowess, but also the musicianship of his collaborators, including core bandmates Dustin Laurenzi, Stu Mindeman, and Matt Ulery, as well as several additional special guests. Dedicated to Pastor’s late father Carlos, the album is an exploration of grief and loss, of acceptance, of steadfast courage.
