Page "Argentine National Anthem" Paragraph 0

The Argentine National Anthem () is the national anthem of Argentina.

The name of the song originally was ( Patriotic March ), and was later renamed ( National Patriotic Song ) and finally ( Patriotic Song ).

A copy published in 1847 called it Himno Nacional Argentino and the name has remained ever since.

Its lyrics were written by the Buenos Aires-born politician Vicente López y Planes and the music was composed by the Spanish musician Blas Parera.

The work was adopted as the sole official song on May 11, 1813, three years after the May Revolution ; May 11 is therefore Anthem Day in Argentina.
