AMERICAN MASTERS keeps the beat with Grammy Award-winning bassist Israel “Cachao” Lopez who reignited his career while living in Florida with the help of friend Andy Garcia, who directed and narrates the film. AMERICAN MASTERS “Cachao: Uno Mas” premieres Monday, September 20, 2010, 9:00 p.m. ET on PBS.
New programming is bolstered by encore programming including LATIN MUSIC USA, AMERICAN MASTERS: Orozco: Man of Fire, INDEPENDENT LENS Calavera Highway, Our Disappeared/Nuestros Desaparecidos and The Ballad of Esequiel Hernandez, POV and GLOBAL VOICES Made In LA.
In addition, PBS’ celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month extends beyond the broadcast and onto pbs.org.
