The Story behind the Mother, the Father and their ten kids
The
Cagle Family idea and concept started when Teresita and I, Monte
met in 1973 in the island of Puerto Rico while working as missionary
volunteers. Working to help children, young people in school
projects, orphanages, prisons, youth and drug rehabilitation centers
throughout the Caribbean we started singing and performing together part
time as a duo to help support our volunteer
work. We did our first
real show in Aruba a small Dutch island in the Caribbean where we got married while on furlough from
our mission . Our
performances were very successful and we continued to sing together
in restaurants, clubs, and hotels for many years. As
the children came, we found that our kids
had performing talents and we would
occasionally let our oldest kids sing a song or two for
friends or tourists around the pool at some of the resorts Melody and Iwould work. We imagined our Family singing together
some day as a band like The Jackson Family.
In this musical environment, the Cagle kids learned to sing and groove
at an early age and became quit talented.
While traveling and performing in Europe, we discovered we could
also street perform together as a family and continue to share our
message of hope and love with other through music.
We developed into a full band and started to
perform on TV, Radio shows and screen performances as a family. Today
we have grown into The Cagle Family show troupe. All members sing, dance, and play musical instruments. With guitars, bass, drums, keyboard, and percussion
instruments. We play a mixture of contemporary Pop, Latin, R&B, Reggae, Gospel and
Hip Hop with a captivating narrative style. The Cagle Family have made many TV appearances
around the world, airing on
VH1's "Behind the Music," featuring the entire family of 12.
We have
traveled to many different countries of the world in our volunteer efforts
to make the world a better place by inspiring families and people everywhere through positive
music. Our passion is to share a message of God’s love and hope
with the world through song.
