"Fina estampa" (translation "fine mien") is a song written in 1956 by the Peruvian singer-songwriter, Chabuca Granda.

[1][2] The lyrics describe a gentleman with elegant clothes and hat as he strolls through the streets, causing a little girl to smile and windows to stir.

[3][4] In 1961, Mario Cavagnaro, the head of the "Sono Radio" record label, proposed an album compiling Granda's best compositions.

She recorded her final album, Cada Cancion con su Razon, in 1980 at the EMI studios in Buenos Aires.

[13] Brazilian artist Caetano Veloso, winner of nine Latin Grammy Awards, covered the song as the title track for his 1994 album, Fina Estampa.

[19][20] The Peruvian operatic tenor Juan Diego Flórez, backed by the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, covered the song for his 2006 crossover album of Latin American standards.

Sarmiento opened the book by naming "Fina estampa" among Granda's four most recognized works, demonstrating her unfading creative capacity and talent.
