Pasa? How
did the members of the band meet and get
together to form Cache?
Wilson:Some of us have known each other
for over 10 years, and we ave played with
many other different bands. After a period
of time we discovered, specially the rhythm
section, that we had a unique chemistry,
and we decided to form our own band and
that's how we became Caché.

¿Que
Pasa? What is it
about Latin music that inspires the band
to produce music in that style?
Wilson:Latin Music is uplifting, challenging,
not only to play it but to write it. It
is a rhythm that is not boring and not tiring.
You will see musicians playing real instruments
¿Que
Pasa? Which Latin
bands have influenced the band the most?
Wilson:The Latin bands that have influenced
Caché the most are, Sonora Ponceña,
Dimension Latina and Cal Tjader old school.
¿Que
Pasa? Tell me something
about the marimba instrument and how it
contributes to the sound and style of your
music.
Wilson:Actually, Caché does not
use a Marimba. We use a Vibraphone. They
are related but they are two different instruments;
The Marimba, unlike the Vibraphone, is made
of wood and the Vibraphone is made of Aluminum
plates giving the distinct sounds. The Vibraphone
gives a unique sound, an identity to Caché.

¿Que
Pasa? Explain
a bit about the dynamics of the
group and its versatility to perform
numbers ranging from a duo to an
eight piece band.
Wilson:We have a very unique
chemistry, this comes from years
of knowing each other and contributing
in playing with each other in different
bands. We have fun and enjoy seeing
the audience dancing to our music.
¿Que Pasa? When
and where did Cache get its first
major break? |

Wilson:We
Got our first major break playing a Latin
Festival which was also televised, for over
15, 000 people
¿Que
Pasa? Are there
plans for Cache to perform outside of Toronto?
Wilson:Caché has had the pleasure
of performing in festivals across Canada.,
¿Que
Pasa? Are your audiences
mostly salsa dancers and can the members
of the band dance salsa?
Wilson:Our audiences are from all walks
of life that enjoy music and they allow
the rhythm to take control and let their
feet do all the dancing... LOL Yes, all
the members of Caché can dance Salsa.
¿Que
Pasa? Which do you
enjoy the most: touring live or recording
albums, and why?
Wilson: That's a tough one... we enjoy
both as they both give different levels
of gratification. Touring live, is energetic,
fun, you feel the enery of the audience
and enjoy seeing them dance to our music...
being in the Studio, although it is long
hours, it gives us a chance to be with each
other and come up with new and exciting
ideas... it is like a family reunion where
noone can take that away from us.
¿Que
Pasa? Give a description
of the music on your two Albums "Blended"
and "The Toronto Sessions"
Wilson:There is a difference between
both Cd's, and just like any other artists,
we have grown and matured artistically and
this shows in our music. We write from our
experiences. and everyday is pretty much
a new chapter, a new song.
¿Que
Pasa? What's next
in the pipeline for Cache?
Wilson:Third CD.. which will hopefully
be out at the end of 2007. And, touring
across the globe.
¿Que
Pasa? What has been
the single most exciting experience for
the band since its inception?
Wilson:The most exciting experience?
I would have to say being able to play your
own music and watching the people enjoying
it and dancing to it.
¿Que
Pasa? Which bands
would you like to perform alongside and
why?
Wilson:There are so many, and the reason
why is because it is people that we grew
up listening to and this is not just in
the 'salsa world', we are talking many artists
in many genres.
