José Luis Pérez-Vera: The Free Voice of Flamenco, Copla, and Jazz – Booking & Contact

In the rich landscape of Spanish music, few voices possess the absolute freedom and profound emotional intelligence of José Luis Pérez-Vera. Fundamentally a deeply rooted cantaor flamenco, he refuses to be confined by the traditional boundaries of the genre. With a vocal elasticity that is entirely his own, Pérez-Vera interprets everything from the rhythmic joy of sevillanas and the theatricality of Spanish copla to the romanticism of boleros and the sophisticated phrasing of jazz.

At Le Plato Prod, we represent artists who push cultural boundaries. For artistic directors, theater programmers, and world music festival curators, securing the booking of Pérez-Vera means offering your audience a mesmerizing, cross-genre masterclass in vocal expression.

A Cantaor Without Borders: From Sevillanas to Jazz

To understand José Luis Pérez-Vera is to understand a musician who breathes music in its totality. While his core is unmistakably flamenco—bringing the duende and raw emotion expected from a true cantaor—his artistry lies in his limitless versatility.

He approaches traditional sevillanas with a freshness and elegance that honors his heritage, yet he can seamlessly pivot to the dramatic storytelling of a classic copla. Furthermore, his innate sense of rhythm and harmonic understanding allow him to navigate the complex waters of jazz and Latin American genres with astonishing naturality. When you book Pérez-Vera, you are not just programming a flamenco recital; you are programming a universal musical experience.

Mentiras en la Boca: A Masterpiece of Emotion and Fusion

His latest show, Mentiras en la Boca (Lies in the Mouth), takes the bolero as an emotional starting point, but filters it entirely through his undeniable flamenco soul. It is a deeply personal musical journey about unkept promises, unfinished relationships, and the lies we tell ourselves in love. Pérez-Vera transforms these universal experiences into an honest, close confession shared with the audience. The repertoire brilliantly breaks stylistic boundaries, moving effortlessly from bolero and Spanish copla to bossa nova, Argentine zambra, and jazz-infused arrangements. On stage, he is accompanied by a stellar acoustic quartet—Francis Gómez (guitar), Pablo Báez (double bass), Marina Zarzoso (cello), and Lito Máñez (percussion)—whose interplay creates an enveloping, highly sophisticated sonic landscape. It is a premium artistic proposal perfectly suited for intimate auditoriums, classical theaters, and prestigious world music festivals.
