Posted: Sun Feb 21, 2021 9:17 amI never got to see him live. But I am thankful to him for putting together so many great records, and even more for his role in the diffusion of Latin music. Without him, there's a good chance that I would have never come across a lot of the music that I love today. Gracias Pacheco!
