On the beginning

On the beginning there was nothing. Just blackness and white noise. It wasn't either good or bad because nobody could feel anything. Nobody was there. All of a sudden, everything exploded so violently and sounds and shapes were created. We are talking about the Big Bang. The big Rock and Roll bang. It expanded dramatically and made waves of millions of dollars and created gold idols and clay ones. Thanks to records, cassettes, compact discs and, ehem, MP3s and iPods, music keeps coming and coming all over again.

Rock and Roll was like rice, it was all over, and it combined with other foods perfectly. Rock and Roll diversifies itself, and finds niches in certain geographical parts you wouldn't ever think it would be. It is a phenomena caused by the people of the U.S., the black culture, the blues and jazz and of course us. You and I, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley. John Lennon said it best: "Everybody is a member of Plastic Ono Band"

This blog is about rock, jazz, blues and its chances to reach to World Music. It's about my personal experiences with music. It's about my life, in a way for everybody to enjoy new music and not to mess around with my private life. This is the continuation of my work for several other publications, without the interference of third-party editors.

Concerts, my comics on the adventures of the Great Emilio Cacao and of course, lots of album reviews and music essays are posted here. It's about my continuing journey throught the sounds of the world.

Welcome to CacaoRock, the last outpost of that kind of music you thought it was forgotten, but it wasn't.
