Abstract:
It seems to intermingle, as he announces in one of his texts, a matter of luck in the popularity, or not, of the singer-songwriter Tabaré ETCHEVERRY. The end of the 70s, in Uruguay, acts as a kind of hinge in which two decisive periods are amalgamated in our music. Begins to undergo a significant change in the conception of the song that, now, will unite such dissimilar figures as: Los Olimareños, Leo Maslíah, Carlos Cresci and even, a group that began targeting the children's audience, Canciones para no dormir la siesta. The present work, fruit of an investigation in course, tries to give account of biographical aspects of José Francisco Etcheverry Tort (1945-1978) and its connection with the song in Uruguay, its aesthetic conception, as well as of political questions that, among others things, forged a certain black legend about this singer-songwriter.
