Cabas released his self-titled album, "Cabas", in 2000, which he hoped to be popular and joyful. It became a huge success in Colombia, where his single Mi Bombón (My Lollipop) lead the charts of radio stations for three consecutive months, earning him a Gold Disc and a double Platinum disc. To boost his success, Cabas begins a tour around Colombia, and reaches out to Venezuela and Ecuador, where he became highly popular among both the young and the old, because of the eclectic mixture of cumbia and rock in his songs. His playful and warm personality can be seen during his performances.
In 2002, Cabas began to promote his music in Latin America and the United States, receiving good reviews and even a feature article in the Billboard magazine. Cabas has shared his stage with stars such as Lenny Kravitz in Mexico, and Shakira and Miguel Bosé in Spain.
In 2003, his second album Contacto (Contact), redefined his style. Contacto mixed percussion and drums with bass and rock beats, and his first single, La Caderona (The Big-hipped Woman) recalled Mi Bombón's success. Cabas' first music video, from the song Leche (Milk), premiered around this time on MTV Latin America. Other singles such as Bolita de Trapo (Little Ball of Rags) also led the charts in Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador. Cabas has recently been promoting his music in France.
His participation in a tribute concert to the legendary musician Carlos Santana increased his exposure. Cabas won the Latin Grammy Award for Best New Artist, the MTV Latin Awards for Best Rock Album and Best Rock Interpretation, and the People's Price and Best Rock Video in the Lo Nuestro Awards.
On 2005, Cabas released his third album, Puro Cabas (Pure Cabas), which proved to be yet another huge success. Cabas' first single, La Cadena de Oro (The Gold Locket), was a major hit in Latin America, along with its music video that stayed MTV's top ten for quite a while. This hit was followed immediately by his second single, Increíble (Incredible).

Cabas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bajo las estrellas
Un rayito de luz escapa
Mostrándote inquieta
Ten cuidado me decían
No te la quedes mirando
Pero ya es muy tarde
Cuando te vía bailabas sola
Me dejaste loco
Blanca de luna, piel de seda
Y un paso de negra
Ten cuidado me decían
No te la quedes mirando
Pero ya es muy tarde
Nadie te saca de mi cabeza
Quien me manda a mirarte
Mirarte mi amor
Quien me manda a mirarte
Ya no puedo mirar para otro la'o
Si esto es amor
Es una hoguera que nos quema lento
Cielo que hierve, dulce infierno
Es llevarte adentro
Ten cuidado me decían
No te la quedes mirando
Pero ya es muy tarde
Soy una presa de tu belleza
Quien me manda a mirarte
Mirarte mi amor
Quien me manda a mirarte
Ya no puedo mirar para otro la'o
Niña me has poseído
The song "Poseido" by Cabas is about falling in love at first sight during a night of dancing and drums under the stars. The lyrics describe the singer's infatuation with a beautiful woman he sees dancing alone. Despite warnings from others to not stare at her, the singer cannot resist his attraction to her and becomes captivated by her beauty. As the night goes on, the singer realizes that he has been possessed by her beauty and is unable to think of anything else.
The chorus of the song asks, "Who told me to look at you, to look at you, my love? Who told me to look at you? I can't look away from you now." This repetition emphasizes the singer's obsession with the woman and his inability to control his attraction to her.
The song's catchy melody and upbeat rhythm convey the excitement and energy of falling in love. The use of drums and references to dancing under the stars highlight the Latin American influence in the song. "Poseido" is a passionate and romantic song that captures the intensity of falling in love.
