Name: Eddy / Role: Lead Singer / Age: 21 / Hometown: Venezuela Bio: Band founder, lead singer, song writer. Along with his brother Jose, he has written many of Bachaco's songs.
Name: Jose / Role: BASS GUITAR, Vocals / Age: 18 / Hometown: Venezuela Bio: Since very little Jose has had a great talent for music. He is not only able to play the Guitar but a variety of instruments like the trumpet or bass among others, in the beginning of the band people were able to witness and see him switch back and forth from the Trumpet to the guitar, however due to band arrangements, He currently resides in Bass guitar playing, rocking it and singing along doing great vocal harmonies along with his fellow members!. (people can check out an old rock project of his along with Domingo or so called "sunday" named “Last Summer” in which he plays guitar and is the lead singer).
Name: Matt / Role: Guitar and Vocals / Age: 19 / Hometown: Jamaica Bio: When it comes to guitar solos and making guitars cry this Jimmy Hendrix lover knows what he is doing. While he also adds his Jamaican feeling to the way he plays the guitar, the true Jamaican comes out when it’s time for him to sing, he does all of the ragamuffin!
Name: Bruce / Role: Trumpet and Vocals / Age: 19 / Hometown: Colombia Bio: Since playing trumpet was not enough, Bruce was given the task of being the MC and providing a hip-hop flavor to Bachaco’s already hot music. This young promise of the trumpet was chosen one of the best trumpet players in all of Miami Dade’s County Public Schools.
Name: Domingo / Role: Drummer / Age: 20 / Hometown: Venezuela Bio: He is also interchangeably called Sunday because of his Spanish name, but he is not as boring as most Sundays. Watch him play and you’ll see by yourself, he’s always with a smile on when on stage.

¿Qué significa Bachaco? Bachaco es el nombre que se da en Venezuela a las hormigas corta hojas. El mismo tipo de hormiga se encuentra a través de la Selva Amazónica y en países como Panamá, Colombia y Brasil. El insecto es usado por indígenas venezolanos para crear picante. ¡Se puede decir que Bachaco es un picante musical!

What is a Bachaco?(for those who don't know)
The word Bachaco (BAH-SHA-KO) is the name given to a Leafcutter Ant in Venezuela. The same type of ant is found accross that Amazon Rainforest and in countries such as Panama, Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil. The insect is used by Venezuelan indians to create a "picante" (hot sauce). We could say Bachaco is a musical picante!
