It was popularized in a 1958 recording by Nat King Cole.Ana Castillo 'Black Dove: Mam , Mi'jo, and Me' 2016 1558619240- Page 164 "Cachito, cachito, cachito mio, pedazo de cielo que Dios me dio, I used to sing to my son as a toddler. He knew the words, too. It was a song made popular by Nat King Cole. My parents sang it to me when I was a child." Cole included the track as first track on the Capitol Records LP 'Cole Espaol'. Capitol also released "Cachito" as a single in Spain and Latin America. In Colombia, it was popularized by Matilde Daz.

Composition



Consuelo Velzquez wrote the music and lyrics of the song in 1957. It was dedicated to her second son, Mariano Rivera Velzquez, whom she had with Mariano Rivera Conde, director of RCA Victor Mexico. Previously, she had dedicated the song "Chiqui" to her first son Sergio.

Despite the gentle nature of the lyrics ("Cachito mo", meaning "my little thing", in reference to Consuelo's baby), the song was banned from airplay in Spain by the Francoist regime, together with other 'canciones' such as "Bsame mucho", Velzquez's biggest hit.
