Roberto Cachimuel
Musician, composer, entrepreneur, and spokesperson for YARINA, Roberto left Ecuador at the age 14 to travel with his brothers and perform music in the neighboring country of Colombia (Cali) then to Italy (Milan and Rome) before settling in Boston, MA in 1991. From the earliest ages of childhood, he developed his musical knowledge through self-teaching all traditional strings and wind instruments. His formal musical studies began as a junior at the Somerville High School String Orchestra instructed by Ms. Rita Ranucci. For his achievement at the High School, Roberto was awarded with a four-semester tuition scholarship to attend Berklee College of Music, in Boston, MA. His studies include violin and composition. Intense, emotional, expressive and imaginative in performance, his hypnotic musical expression is a most captivating feature of the group’s interfacing with the audience.
Making his home in New York City with his wife and child, Roberto travels annually to Ecuador for concerts and performances. Additionally he has recorded and performed with well known artists like: Marta Gomez, Raul Midon, Alex Alvear, Michel Gonzalez, Franco Pinna, Andres Rotmistrovsky, Sofia Tosello. His commitment to music will continue to enhance YARINA’s steady and ongoing success.
