Giovanna Beatriz Andrea Núñez Trisollini (born March 15, 1982, in Lima, Peru), known professionally as La Lá, is a Peruvian singer-songwriter and composer. Her music blends elements of jazz, bossa nova, and traditional Peruvian popular music.
Núñez was born in the Barranco district of Lima. From an early age she showed a strong interest in music, influenced by radio programs she listened to with her mother. Because of financial limitations, she was unable to receive formal musical training during childhood. She later studied philosophy at the Antonio Ruiz de Montoya University, where she began developing her songwriting skills and performed at university cultural events. She eventually joined a student jazz orchestra, where her vocal abilities became evident despite her lack of formal musical education.
La Lá’s musical career began to gain recognition with the release of her debut album Rosa in 2014. The album established her distinctive style, combining genres such as jazz, bossa nova, and Peruvian criollo waltz. In 2017 she released her second album, Zamba, which brought her to international stages including Festival Marvin in Mexico and Músicas del Mundo in Santiago, Chile. The single “La Felicidad” and the album itself achieved success in Peru, leading to her being named one of the 21 notable figures of the year by the newspaper Perú 21.
In 2018 she also ventured into children’s literature with the illustrated book ¡Apagón!, created with her father, the artist Alonso Núñez. Her third album, Mito (2021), received praise from both national and international critics. During her career she has collaborated with artists such as Julieta Venegas, Gepe, Tessa Ía, and Paz Court. In November 2022 she joined Mon Laferte on stage during a concert in Lima to perform “Selva negra” and “Yo te quise”, and Laferte described her as “a treasure for Peru.”
Her fourth album, Debut, explores themes of innocence and rediscovery, reflecting the feeling of facing the world with a renewed perspective. Musically, the record presents an eclectic mix of styles, ranging from new wave-inspired ballads to merengue and other Latin rhythms.
