Verónica Osffier Pérez Jaime (born 1988) is a Bolivian musician, singer, and songwriter, who performs under the name Vero Pérez.

Early life and education

Pérez was born in La Paz, Bolivia on 4 February 1988.[1] She went to school at the Franco Boliviano College in La Paz, and attended the Bolivian Catholic University.[1]

Musical career

Pérez's debut album Cadáver Exquisito (Spanish for "Exquisite Corpse") was released in 2020.[2] The tracks on Cadáver Exquisito are poems by nine Bolivian poets set to music and sung by Pérez; the poets are Matilde Casazola, Jaime Sáenz, Adela Zamudio, Roberto Echazú, Blanca Wiethüchter, Julio Barriga, Valeria Canelas, Paola Senseve, and Jessica Freudenthal.[3] To celebrate World Poetry Day in 2024 Pérez performed the album at the Alberto Saavedra Pérez Municipal Theatre and Espacio Kúu Inti in La Paz, backed by a symphony orchestra.[3] Pérez again performed the album backed by a symphony orchestra in two shows on 2 and 3 November 2024, as part of the All Saints' Day celebrations in La Paz.[2] Pérez told Correo del Sur that the idea of performing the album with orchestral backing came about because she felt that on its initial release during the COVID-19 pandemic, the album did not have "sufficiently interesting space."[4]

Pérez has been a member of Bolivian jazz fusion band Efecto Mandarina since 2011, and has also recorded two albums with Bolivian guitarist Jorge Villanueva.[5][2] In 2020 she recorded a version of the anti-femicide song "Canción Sin Miedo" written by Vivir Quintana, backed by five other Bolivian singers.[6] Pérez has performed with the Miami Symphony Orchestra,[7] and her music featured in the 2020 television series 100 días para enamorarnos.[8]
