Life and work
editShe was born in Mar del Plata, Argentina.
From 1989 to 2001 she led the lo-fi indie rock band Suárez. By their fourth and final album Excursiones they moved towards a more indie pop sound and even achieved a mainstream hit with Río Parana.
After the dissolution of Suárez Rosario embarked on her solo career, which was generally characterized by a more acoustic and melodic sound than her work with Suárez, while still conserving punk and noise elements, and staying faithful to her DIY ethic.
In the 2010s she formed the band Sue Mon Mont and the duo Los Mundos Posibles, with younger collaborators from indie bands like Él Mató a un Policía Motorizado, Los Reyes del Falsete, and Mi Pequeña Muerte.
As an actress, she is most identified with her roles in Martín Rejtman's early films: the short Doli vuelve a casa (1986), and the features Rapado (1992), and especially Silvia Prieto (1999). She also appeared in Poor Butterfly (1986), I, the Worst of All (1990), Los dueños (2013) and The Idea of a Lake (2016).[5]
Bléfari died on 6 July 2020 from leukaemia-related problems at a hospital in Santa Rosa, Argentina at the age of 54.[6]
