The musician performs in a solo set format, accompanied only by his guitar, in a concert that revisits the most representative moments of his career. He began his musical journey in 1977 with the trio MonTRESvideo, continued in 1982 with the group Baldío, and has pursued a solo career since 1984. On this occasion, Cabrera performs songs from the albums El tiempo está después, Viveza, 432, Bardo, Ciudad de la Plata, and Simple, among others. His music blends the tradition of Uruguayan popular song with influences from rock, folk, and contemporary music, standing out for its poetic lyricism and his distinctive guitar style.

Biografía de Fernando Cabrera
“Multifaceted, histrionic —in his own way, of course— and bold, he launched into a cascade of notes and words with occasionally sharp targets: poking fun at Harrison Ford or the United States (‘the nest of financial power’), reviving the long-buried Panama Papers, laughing at himself, and saying, half-joking, half-serious, that ethics and morality in the world are ’gravely under threat’… all interwoven with monologues and songs.”

“What has changed is that I used to be more or less up to date with what was happening in the world, and lately I listen to less. I’ve lost curiosity and, consequently, information. I think the mix you describe is fairly accurate, except perhaps for the ‘French-style singer-songwriter’ and the ‘Argentine rock nacional’, though in the case of the latter, I would include Almendra. I’d also add a bit more music: Brazil, classical music, jazz. But all of that feels very remote to me now, from a time of absorbing and taking in data. These days I no longer take in, I look inside my head and use whatever I find. And there’s no need to mix it; it already comes mixed.”
