Chabuca Granda Maria Isabel Granda y Larco, known worlwide as Chabuca Granda, was born on September 3 of 1920 in Cotabambas, Apurimac, Peru. And 3 years after she and all her family moved to Barranco, Lima. On "Leon Andrade" School and then "Sagrado corazón" school she grew up as a brilliant soprano singer, so she was the vicepresident of The song Association in that last school. In 1937, she and her friend Pilar Mujica made the musical duo "Luz & sombra" and they sang on National radio as beginners. They played Creole music only with chords guitar and awesome voices. Chabuca got married on 1942 with the Brazilian Enrique Demetrio Fuller and they had three children. A bit later, they got divorced and that was the beginning of her career as a waltz composer and soloist. In this period, while she was working as a secretary, Chabuca composed "La flor de la canela" a song that became almost a Peruvian anthem. She made other very famous songs and each one represents Creole music, Afro-Peruvian and Andean music with poetry and rhythm. Finally, she passed away in Miami on March 8, 1983 of a heart disease but for me that never happened, she will always live on her songs.
