Fiorella Cava

Fiorella Vincenza Cava Goicochea (born May 31, 1960) is a singer, musician and activist for transgender rights in Peru.

Personal life Cava studied law at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru and communication sciences at the University of Lima. At the same time, she began a career as a musician, which led her to prepare a law thesis on intellectual rights in the recording industry. Later, at the age of 23, she obtained the position of manager at the Consortium of Music Publishers of Peru.

Her musical career began with the band Hielo, with whom she recorded her first hit, El rock del vago, which was among the most listened to songs on Panamericana Radio in 1983. Three years later, in 1986, together with drummer Jesús Hurtado and bassist Alex Nathanson, she formed the band JAS. The following year, they released Mueres en tu ley, whose promotional single Ya no quiero más ska became the band's most recognized song. In 1992, they released their second album, "¿De qué te quejas?", which did not receive the same response as the first. Her success was covered in Peruvian news, and she received media hostility, even being attacked by a group of far right in a park in Lima, a fact that she denounced.

She would eventually return to music as a soloist, releasing Rituales vacíos in 2009 with producer Dante Gonzáles. In 2020, JAS reformed with new members, with Cava doing vocals, and released the double CD Antología 1986 – 2019. Since 2021, she has led an experimental musical project called C.A.V.A.
