Cachi Cachi music, also spelled Kachi Kachi, Kachi-Kachi[1] and Katchi-Katchi,[2] is a term that was coined to refer to music played by Puerto Ricans[3] in Hawaii, after they migrated to Hawaii in 1901.[4]
It is a "variation of dance music found in Hawaii"[5] which is, at times, played very fast.[6][7][3] The "influence on Hawai'i endures to this day in the musical form known as cachi cachi played on the quarto [sic] and derivative of the Puerto Rican jibaro style."[8] Jibaro means farmer in Spanish.[9] The Puerto Ricans in Hawaii "worked hard and played hard" and lightened the load for other plantation workers with their music.[4]
In Hawaii, the Puerto Ricans played their music with six-string guitar, güiro, and the Puerto Rican cuatro.[10][11] Maracas and "palitos" sticks could be heard in the music around the 1930s.[12]
More modern versions of the music may include the accordion and electric and percussion instruments such as conga drums.[13][10][14]
