Eduardo Peralta Cabrera, also known as Eduardo Peralta, born on December 23, 1958, in Santiago, Chile, is a singer-songwriter. He began his musical career in 1978 as part of the Canto Nuevo generation. In 1979, he left Chile for Europe, where he encountered Georges Brassens' music, which significantly influenced his future work. Upon returning to Chile in 1980, Peralta released his debut album, Eduardo Peralta, in 1983. Notable albums include Eduardo Peralta canta a Brassens (1989) and Trova libre (2009). In 1999, he started the Lunes Brassensianos at the Mesón Nerudiano, inviting artists to pay tribute to Iberoamerican poetry and francophone composers. Peralta received two prestigious French cultural distinctions in 2004: the Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres medal and the Grand Prix SACEM.
