José María Carbajal Pruzzo (born December 8, 1943 in Juan Lacaze , † October 21, 2010 in Villa Argentina ), known as El Sabalero , was a Uruguayan singer , composer and guitarist . Carbajal was the author and interpreter of several hits, such as Chiquillada , A mi gente and La Sencillita .

Life

He moved to Montevideo in 1967. Here he recorded his first record on the Orfeo label in the same year. In 1969 his first LP was released with the title "Canto popular" . With a prologue by the poet Idea Vilariño and musical accompaniment by Yamandú Palacios and Roberto Cabrera , this record was a great success in Uruguay and Latin America. Also Chiquillada , one often later by other artists - including Jorge Cafrune and Leonardo Favio - interpreted song, increased his popularity.

Between 1970 and 1973 he lived in Buenos Aires , with the dictatorship that was establishing itself in Uruguay, he emigrated. He lived in Brazil, Mexico, France and Spain. From the latter country he was finally expelled by the Franco regime , so that he ultimately settled in the Netherlands.

He returned to Uruguay in 1984 and lived there until 1992. After that, however, he moved back to the Netherlands, but continued to run a musical project in Montevideo and commuted between the places of residence. In addition to Carbajal's extensive recordings, his musical work was also well received in other areas. His song Borracho, pero con flores was part of the American Claire Best film Fishing with George . In 2002 he toured the USA and Canada with Canario Luna .
