La Flor de la Canela
Chabuca Granda

A Peruvian classic and one of the best composers ever, Chabuca broke the conventional rhythm structure of vals by merging, into the lyrics and melodies, her own personal language with that of traditional Peruvian roots.

Sometimes melancholic and sometimes effusive, Chabuca Granda captures the very essence of coastal Peruvian music -of coastal Peruvian tradition-, to express it with much sensibility and delicacy. Songs such as "José Antonio", "La Flor de la Canela", "Fina Estampa" or "El Puente de los Suspiros" are Peruvian unsurpassed classics, beautiful and poetical, that remain central milestones in Peru's music history.
