Cachay, from traveling comedian to dramatic actor: “Everything I know I learned on the street”

Though At first it was called Spring, by the shape of her hair, then he understood that her last name was enough and more than enough to be used as her signature. “When I was in Chile, where the expression ‘cachai’ was used a lot, I realized that it worked better”, he tells in dialogue with Trade.

But beyond his innate humor, Cachay has surprised locals and strangers with his first dramatic role as protagonist of the video clip of “Ruge the city”, recent ‘single’ by the Peruvian rock band Bala Perdida. An acting revelation in which the comedian interprets together with Verony Centeno a story that addresses issues such as violence against women and problems surrounding mental health.

Regarding his experience working on the video clip, Cachay assures that he feels satisfied to be able to show some of the acting ability that he has learned empirically over the years. “In life one has to do many things. For example, I have lived illegally in Ecuador, and I had to pretend to be Ecuadorian to be able to work and don’t take me prisoner”, he recounts. “That’s why I always say, with all humility, that the best school I have is the street”.

Cachay also states that he would like to continue trying his luck in other roles. He tells, for example, that one of his dreams is to make a film about the history of traveling comics. What I have done here is not even 60% of my work. I know that I can do much betterhe warns.

ROCK BET

“Ruge the city”, by Bala Perdida, is a song that exposes the harsh reality of femicides in Peru. The video clip was directed by Darien McFly (Melies Crea) and Jorge Cadenas, and produced by Carlos Marroquín. The mixing and mastering was in charge of Giovanni Lama, founder of the band Epilepsia.

Bala Perdida is made up of Ángel Romano (lead guitar), Jorge Zagal (bass), Enrique Visaloth (vocals), Lucas Chirinos (drums) and Juan Diego Rodríguez (rhythm guitar). His musical proposal is one that bets on the rock with strong guitars, powerful drums and emotional lyrics.

His debut came with the single “Fuera de control”, now available on all digital platforms. With “Ruge the city”, the group takes a leap in terms of production, and is already preparing the release of two more singles: “Volar” and “Caminos separados”. Meanwhile, it has been performing in different venues in Lima and the provinces, and has more performances planned in the coming weeks.
