Ernesto Tabárez

musician

Ernesto Tabárez is the lead singer of the Uruguayan rock band Eté & Los Problems, known for his deep reflections on the essence of rock music as a medium for authenticity and social commentary. He believes that rock should not disguise the brokenness of society but rather expose it, providing a genuine space for individuals to express themselves without fear of exclusion. Influenced by iconic artists like Lou Reed and David Bowie, Tabárez emphasizes the importance of music as a form of honest expression, steering clear of superficial attitudes within the genre. He credits his mentor, Eduardo Darnauchans, for instilling in him the significance of composition over mere performance, guiding his creative process towards crafting music that resonates personally rather than conforming to commercial expectations.
