Verónica Valerio

She embarked on her professional career in her home town when she was 19, singing boleros with the Afro-Caribbean band Juventud Sonera.

She then spent a year in New Orleans with musicians specializing in blues before moving to New York where she attended the Boys and Girls Harbor music conservatory.

[2] She showed interest in a variety of genres, including gospel, salsa and cumbia, all of which contributed to her development as an experimental composer.

[3] She adapted her song-writing to poetic renderings of topics of contemporary social interest while evoking the sea, the coast, loneliness and contrasts between town and country.

[3] In August 2017, she appeared in Mexico City's Teatro de la Ciudad together with Sofía Rei from Argentina and Lucía Pulido from Colombia in the Latin-American music show 3 voces, 3 mujeres, 3 vanguardias.
