Eduardo Cabra

He rose to fame due to the Puerto Rican band Calle 13, which he co-founded with his step brother René Pérez Joglar ("Residente").

[5] As part of Calle 13, Eduardo collaborated with high-calibre artists such as Shakira, Tom Morello, Bad Bunny, Silvio Rodríguez and Rubén Blades, among others.

[11] The family developed strong ties to the Puerto Rican arts community; his stepmother, Flor Joglar de Gracia, was an actress in Teatro del Sesenta, a local acting troupe, while his father was still a musician at the time.

[11] When he was at the seventh grade, Visitante was once reprimanded and taken to the school principal's office for refusing to sing the American national anthem—he would later become a supporter of the Puerto Rican independence, just like Residente.

[11] The duo gained recognition for their controversial song "Querido FBI", which responded to the killing of Filiberto Ojeda Ríos, a militant activist in the Puerto Rican independence movement.

[29] On March 2, 2021, he shared his third single, "Gris", through which CABRA gives an interesting twist to his musical concept, introducing us to a new side of introspective lyrics and sound within his repertoire.

This video was directed by the visual collaborator of Trending Tropics, Niko Sedano and César Berrios, who do a great job in portraying the attitude of CABRA towards the responsibilities and blame that fall on him.

[34] Trending Tropics, a project Eduardo worked on with his partner Vicente Garca in which they explored diverse sound textures and experimented with new materials, is proof of this, as he tells us in an exclusive interview for Rolling Stone Colombia.

[37] Additionally, has worked with Rita Indiana,[38] Abel Pintos, Diana Fuentes, Vicente García,[39] La Vida Boheme, Monsieur Periné,[40] Chambao, Gustavo Cordera and Jorge Drexler, among many others.

[44] On July 11, 2018, it was presented live during a rehearsal open to the public in La Respuesta (Santurce) as part of the preparations for his show at the SummerStage in NYC.

With a very solid artistic concept that deals with the distorted relationship of human beings and the technology that surrounds them, it is a transversal and cultural project that goes far beyond music.

[45][46] Musicians who have already joined Eduardo and Vicente for Trending Tropics include Carlos Alomar (David Bowie's guitarist), Ziggy Marley, Pucho y Guille (members of Vetusta Morla), Ana Tijoux, Jorge Drexler, Li Saumet (Bomba Estéreo), iLe, Amayo (from Antibalas), Acentoh or Wiso G, among others.

[47] By the end of 2020, Eduardo created the virtual activity "Cabratón", whose main objective is to connect the producer with his followers and fostering a space for creative interaction.

In the following days, CABRA makes a detailed review of each of the materials sent, evaluating the combination of ideas, aesthetics and genres in order to select several singles and produce an EP.
