• Further details: The words are by JOSÉ; IGNACIO de SANJINÉS (1786-1864), the music by the Italian LEOPOLDO BENEDETTO VINCENTI (1815-1914). The author was a lawyer and scholar of high standing and a fervent patriot. He was among the signers of his country's declaration of independence and its first constitution. The music is a vocal specimen in the heroic style of the Italian opera. Its rhythm with dotted quavers, which can inspire the Bolivians with patriotic enthusiasm, has very little to do with native music.
