==History== Granda lived part of her childhood on a ranch at the ''Bajada de los Baños'' in the district of Barranco until she was twelve years old, near the [[Bridge of Sighs (Lima)|Bridge of Sighs]], to which in 1960 she dedicated [[El puente de los suspiros (song)|a song of the same name]].<ref>{{Cite news |title=Chabuca Granda: las mejores canciones de la cantautora que representa al Perú |url=https://larepublica.pe/espectaculos/2019/09/03/chabuca-granda-las-mejores-canciones-de-la-cantante-peruana/ |date=2020-01-11 |work=[[La República]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://munibarranco.gob.pe/atractivos-turisticos/ |title=Atractivos Turísticos |website=Municipalidad de Barranco}}</ref>
As a result of this tribute to a major landmark of the district, the municipality decided to erect a sculpture in gratitude to her.<ref>{{Cite news |title=¿Quién fue Chabuca Granda y por qué es mundialmente conocida? |url=https://rpp.pe/musica/nacional/quien-fue-chabuca-granda-y-por-que-es-mundialmente-conocida-noticia-964093 |last=Reyna |first=Rob |date=2018-09-03 |work=[[RPP Noticias]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title=El Puente de los Suspiros y otros motivos limeños |url=https://www.clarin.com/espectaculos/musica/puente-suspiros-motivos-limenos_0_S1S89qg-M.html |last=Monjeau |first=Federico |date=2017-12-02 |work=[[Clarín (Argentine newspaper)|Clarín]]}}</ref> The monument, a stone work by Fausto Jaulis, an artist from [[Ayacucho]],<ref>{{Cite news |title=Público podrá apreciar en Parque La Muralla esculturas de artista ayacuchano |url=https://andina.pe/agencia/noticia-publico-podra-apreciar-parque-muralla-esculturas-artista-ayacuchano-675579.aspx |date=2017-07-20 |work=[[Andina (news agency)|Andina]]}}</ref> was inaugurated on October 24, 1992,<ref>{{Cite book |title=Plan Distrital de Seguridad Ciudadana del Distrito de Barranco |publisher=Municipalidad de Barranco |year=2016 |pages=13, 15 |language=es |url=https://cdn.www.gob.pe/uploads/document/file/3008593/Ordenanza_447-2016-MDB.pdf.pdf}}</ref> in the [[Plazuela Chabuca Granda]], next to the Bridge of Sighs.

In 2021, Lavalle's statue was vandalised, with its head removed. It was quickly restored to its original state and an investigation was launched.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Barranco: investigan cómo fue decapitada estatua de ´José Antonio´ en la plazuela Chabuca Granda |url=https://elcomercio.pe/lima/barranco-decapitan-estatua-de-jose-antonio-en-la-plazuela-chabuca-granda-municipalidad-de-barranco-noticia/ |date=2021-01-28 |work=[[El Comercio (Peru)|El Comercio]]}}</ref>
