The new promenade was named in honour of [[Chabuca Granda]], a renowned Peruvian singer-songwriter who created and performed a large number of [[Peruvian waltz|Creole waltzes]] and [[Afro-Peruvian]] rhythms.<ref>{{Cite news |title=99 años de Chabuca Granda: ¿Cuál es la verdadera historia de la Alameda que lleva su nombre? |url=https://larepublica.pe/sociedad/2019/09/03/chabuca-granda-100-anos-historia-de-la-alameda-que-conserva-nombre-de-la-cantautora-peruana-atmp/ |date=2019-09-03 |work=[[La República]]}}</ref>
