Bio: (español)

Bachaco es una banda multicultural formada por 4 venezolanos, 1 jamaiquino, 1 colombiano y 1 cubano que tienen un conjunto diverso de intereses musicales e influencias. El sonido: un relajado Reggae, Funk, Latino, Hip-Hop, Ska, y Cumbia, además de otros ritmos eclécticos.
En sus comienzos, Bachaco participó en eventos locales de importancia tales como el Festival Argentino y "Rock the Dock en Español". En Octubre, la canción "La Muerte" de Bachaco fue escogida como Canción de la Semana por el programa de radio en "Rockea en Español", en Maracaibo, Venezuela. También se presentó como acto principal en el Carnaval de la Hispanidad de la Universidad Internacional de la Florida y en el escenario alternativo de los Viernes Culturales de Miami. En Noviembre, la agrupación fue seleccionada como Banda Latina y Reggae de la semana en la popular red social MySpace. Esta serie de eventos hicieron posible que Bachaco se uniera con la disquera independiente Don Nadie Music que ayudaría a Bachaco a lanzar su primer álbum.
En el 2008, Bachaco ha compartido escenarios con el Ganador del Grammy Jerry Rivera y el popular colombiano Checo Acosta en el Maroone HispanicFest 2008. También se presentó en el Kaleidoscope Festival de West Palm Beach junto al reconocido Tito Puente Jr. y su orquesta. Incluso, la banda participó en el “afterparty” oficial del lanzamiento de MySpace Latino junto a la banda nominada al Grammy, Locos por Juana, quienes también han cooperado en la producción del primer álbum de la banda; también fueron seleccionados para abrir y cerrar el evento anual “Rock the Dock en Español”. Además, lograron ganar recientemente en Miami, la competencia “Tu Ciudad, Tu Música” de Burger King, la cual le ofreció, entre otras cosas, varias entrevistas en televisión y radio a nivel nacional.
En estos momentos la banda se encuentra grabando su primer álbum y se espera salga al mercado a mediados de 2008.
¿Que significa Bachaco? (para los que no saben)
Bachaco es el nombre que se da en Venezuela a las hormigas corta hojas. El mismo tipo de hormiga se encuentra a través de la Selva Amazónica y en países como Panamá, Colombia, Venezuela y Brasil. El insecto es usado por indígenas venezolanos para crear picante. ¡Se puede decir que Bachaco es el picante de la música hoy en día!

Bio: (english)

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?(for those who don't know)
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!

Band Members: The Band:

Name: Eddy / Role: Lead Singer / Age: 20 / Hometown: Venezuela
Bio: Band founder, lead singer, song writer. Along with his brother Jose, he has written many of Bachaco's songs.

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.

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!

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.

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.
