The song was first recorded in 1950 by the musica criolla trio Los Morochucos [es]. However, it would be the 1953 version recorded by Los Chamas, another musica criolla ensemble, that would bring the song and Chabuca Granda widespread notability in Spain and Latin America with over 600 versions of the song being available.[1]
Since then, the song has become an unofficial anthem for Lima, the capital of Peru.[2]
