María Isabel Granda Larco (Cotabambas, Apurímac, Peru, 3 September 1920 - Miami, United States, 1983), better known as Chabuca Granda, was a Peruvian singer and composer. She created and interpreted a vast number of Criollo waltzes with Afro-Peruvian rhythms. Her best known song is "La flor de la canela" (Cinnamon Flower).

Biography[link]

María Isabel Granda Larco was born on 3 September 1920, in a copper mining area in the region of Apurímac. She began singing at 12 years old, in the school choir at the exclusive girl's school Colegio Sophianum, in San Isidro, a wealthy district of Lima, Peru.

At this age she sang as a soprano (an operation later gave her the deep voice for which she is remembered). However, she wasn't well known until after her divorce, a scandal in contemporary Lima's conservative Catholic society.

Early in her career her work was expressive and picturesque – evoking the romantic and beautiful neighborhood of Barranco in Lima, with its grand French houses with impressive entrances and winter gardens. Some of her most famous songs from this period are "Lima de Veras", "La flor de la Canela", "Fina Estampa", "Gracia", "José Antonio", and "Zeñó Manué", to name a few. She broke the conventional rhythmic structure of the waltz, later broke convention with her poetic cadences as well. Later in her career she wrote songs dedicated to the Chilean Violeta Parra and to Javier Heraud, a Peruvian poet who died in 1963.

Towards the end of her career, Chabuca Granda incorporated Afro-Peruvian rhythms into her work. Afro-Peruvian music, while popular, was not considered "high art" due to the prevalent racism and devaluation of Afro-Peruvian culture. She masterfully blended the suggestive and colorful rhythms into her work, enriching Peruvian popular music.

She died of heart problems in a clinic in Fort Lauderdale, in the United States, in 1983. Her voice and compositions are known far from the borders of her country, and her popularity has introduced the world to the fine and sensitive character of Peruvian music.

Chabuca Granda continued to make her presence felt a decade after her death, when Caetano Veloso used her song, "Fina Estampa", as the title track of an album released in 1994, while her song, "Maria Lando", written with César Calvo, provided the North American breakthrough for Peruvian vocalist Susana Baca the following year.

Granda's song "La Flor de la Canela" has become an anthem for the city of Lima, since it was made popular by the Peruvian group Los Chamas in 1952. Granda worked with a lengthy list of influential guitarists including Oscar Avilés, Rafael Amaranto, Luis Garland, Martin Torres, Lucho González, Alvaro Lagos, and Felix Casaverde.

Antonio Gomez (born September 7, 1945 in Cumaná, Venezuela) is a former professional boxer who fought in the featherweight division. Gomez won the WBA world featherweight title in 1971.

Professional career[link]

Gomez made his professional debut on February 28, 1967 against Eduardo Blanco in Caracas. After scoring a knockout over Blanco, Gomez won six fights, all in Caracas, before Domingo Bastidas became the first man to beat him—scoring a third round knockout in their September 2, 1967 contest. Gomez managed a run of eleven victories before losing to Gustavo Briceno, for his second defeat, on November 4, 1968.

Gomez fought for the first time outside of Venezuela on February 12, 1970, when he travelled to Inglewood, California to beat Gil Noriega by an eighth round knockout. It was in Inglewood, on September 5, 1970, that Gomez won his first title, as he beat Fernando Sotelo for the NABF featherweight title. Gomez won four more fights, one in Mexico and three in Venezuela, before making his first world title challenge.^[1]

On September 2, 1971 Gomez travelled to Tokyo to successfully challenge the Japanese WBA world featherweight champion Shozo Saijo. Gomez knocked Saijo down three times in the fifth round before the referee called a halt to the action.^[2] Following this fight Gomez won a non-title bout over future lightweight champion Esteban De Jesus before losing a disputed decision to Raul Martinez Mora—also in a non-title fight.

The rematch between Gomez and Mora occurred on February 5, 1972—this time for the WBA title. Gomez knocked Mora down twice in the third round before ending the fight with a seventh round knockout to retain his title.^[3] In the next defence of his title Gomez fought the Panamanian challenger Ernesto Marcel in Maracay. Gomez finished the fight with a bloody face as he lost his title to Marcel by a majority decision.^[4]

Gomez fought to a draw with Hyun Kim before travelling to Panama City to face Marcel in a rematch for the WBA title. Marcel, watched by 15,000 fans, dominated the fight and Gomez suffered so much punishment that he was unable to continue for the twelve round.^[5] Gomez fought six more times before his final professional fight on November 1, 1975—when he fought to a draw with Miguel Betruz.
