This album, Viveza, features fifteen songs, among which Querido amigo, Viveza, and Los Eduardos stand out. Cabrera's music is characterized by constant exploration, and this work is no exception. His focus on composition and arrangements is reflected in the diversity of themes that make up the album, offering a panorama of his musical universe. The production of Viveza falls within a period where the artist had already consolidated a sonic identity, marked by his time in the Uruguayan music scene since 1977 and his international experiences, such as his participation in the Youth Festival in Moscow in 1985 or his stay in La Paz, Bolivia, in 1988, where he made arrangements for local musicians.
The work of Fernando Cabrera, including Viveza, is nourished by a rich experience that goes beyond simple performance. His knowledge in composition and orchestration, acquired at the University Conservatory with figures like Federico García Vigil and Coriún Aharonián, is evident in the structure and sonic treatment of his songs. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with other musicians, such as Eduardo Mateo, and has released works both solo and in collective projects, demonstrating an artistic restlessness that remains current.
