Sevilla José del Castillo Díaz |
The National Anthem of Andalusia lyrics were written by Blas Infante, the father of Andalusian nationalism. They were adopted under the Statute of Autonomy of Andalusia[1]. The music for the anthem of Andalusia was composed by the former director of the municipal band of Sevilla José del Castillo Díaz. The origins of the music are vaguely inspired on the Santo Dios, a religious cantic widely spread in rural Andalusia, usually sung by peasants while reaping their crops. It is believed that Blas Infante suggested the music to José del Castillo. The melody of the anthem is Castillo's original though. After the Spanish Civil War, the original music scores were destroyed, and only a manuscript for piano is conserved. The composer Manuel Castillo improved José del Castillo's version.

Spanish lyrics: Blas Infante
- La bandera blanca y verde
- vuelve, tras siglos de guerra,
- a decir paz y esperanza,
- bajo el sol de nuestra tierra.

- ¡Andaluces, levantaos!
- ¡Pedid tierra y libertad!

- Los andaluces queremos
- volver a ser lo que fuimos
- hombres de luz, que a los hombres,
- alma de hombres les dimos.
