Lourdes Pérez Musical artist
Lourdes Pérez (born Bernardita de Lourdes Pérez Cruz on February 12, 1961) is a prolific Puerto Rican contemporary recording artist, songwriter, composer, arranger, poet, contralto vocalist and guitarist. She is also one of few female décimistas (writer of décima, a specialized form of Spanish poetry). Pérez's music — often conjuring comparisons to the soulful world music genres of cante jonde, morna and fado — draws from her jíbara (Puerto Rican mountain) roots and a socially conscious genre of Spanish/pan-Latin American music called nueva trova or nueva cancion.
