Esteban Vega Bacallao, better known as Chachá, passed away on July 18. Born in 1925, Chachá was a giant of Afro-Cuban music, a man without peer in terms of his experience with Afro-Cuban drumming and religion. I saw him last three weeks ago, and he was in bad shape. I had the opportunity to thank him for all he had taught me. I am honored to have known him.
Ibae.
