Biography
Cabral was born in New Orleans and co-founded The Iguanas in the early 1990s, a band whose eclectic mix of roots rock, Tex-Mex, cumbia, and New Orleans R&B became one of the city's most distinctive musical voices. His saxophone playing is at the heart of the band's sound — melodic, soulful, and deeply informed by the city's musical traditions. Beyond The Iguanas, he has pursued a parallel career as a jazz leader, performing at Snug Harbor and other New Orleans venues with his own small groups. He is one of the quiet luminaries of the New Orleans scene — less famous than some contemporaries, but admired by virtually every musician who has played with him.
