Cabral’s work spanned a variety of styles, from Art Deco to Expressionism, and he became especially known for his bold use of color, elegant linework, and rhythmic compositions. Throughout his career, he illustrated for more than 150 magazines and newspapers, including Revista de Revistas, Jueves de Excélsior, and Revista Mundial, contributing thousands of covers, illustrations, and political cartoons.

In the 1920s and 1930s, Cabral’s stylized depictions of fashion, cinema, cabaret, and politics captured the energy of the Jazz Age and Mexico’s post-revolutionary cultural renaissance. His work continues to be exhibited in galleries and admired by collectors and art historians worldwide.

Notably, Ozzy Osbourne and Grace Jones presented the MVP Guitarist Award to Eric Clapton at the ceremony.

The International Rock Awards was a music award ceremony in the United States that aimed to honor top musicians in the rock music genre. The inaugural event took place on May 31, 1989, in New York City. The awards were broadcast on ABC for three years, from 1989 to 1991. The 1989 event was specifically called “The Coca-Cola International Rock Awards,” indicating a sponsorship by The Coca-Cola Company.
