Editor's note

Daniel Drexler, a Uruguayan songwriter from Montevideo

A folk-influenced singer whose songs blend Brazilian rhythms with introspective lyrics about love and loss.

For a good sense of his style, try 'Gozas Mi Amor' or 'Los Diseños de Tu Boca.' They're both folk-leaning, with that mix of rhythm and lyricism he's known for.

His 1999 track '¿Porqué La Infancia Es Tan Corta?' became widely known in Uruguay, and songs like 'Gozas Mi Amor' show how he folds Brazilian and African rhythms into acoustic arrangements. Drexler's work with artists like Rubén Blades and Lila Downs adds to a catalog that's quietly built a following for its poetic quality.

He started his solo career in the late 1980s with the album 'La Luz Que Brilla En Mi Oscuridad,' then put out records like 'Fronteras' in 1993 and 'Acabadito de Nacer' in 2019. Along the way, he's been outspoken about social justice and environmental issues, which has drawn some criticism.
