Facundo Cabral

Facundo Cabral (b. May 22, 1937, La Plata) is an Argentine singer and songwriter.

He is best known as the composer of "No soy de aquí ni soy de allá" (literal translation: "I'm not from here or there"), which he improvised during one of his concerts. His songs have been covered by many top-notch Spanish language interpreters such as Alberto Cortez, who is also a friend of his, Juan Luis Guerra and Joan Manuel Serrat.

After indefatigably touring the world, Cabral enjoyed popularity in his home country the early 1980s, when Argentine radio demanded local content after the Falklands War ( _es. Guerra de las Malvinas).

Facundo is enormously popular in all Latin American countries; when he performs in Peru or México, which he calls his second home, for instance, tickets are sold-out long before the performance date(s).
