Camino del Indio is both a song and an album by Argentine singer and guitarist Atahualpa Yupanqui.
The song was written by Yupanqui in the 1920s, though he did not record it until 1936. It is one of Yupanqui's most famous and analyzed songs. [1] It has been described by multiple sources as "a classic" of Argentine music. [2] [3]
The lyrics describe the path of Argentina's indigenous people, a winding path strewn with stones, singing in the hills, crying in the river. One analyst wrote that the song "painted a nostalgic landscape very different from cynical, urban tango lyrics, invoking the timelessness of indigenous Argentina." [4] Another writer described the song as poignant in its depiction of "a rural path as the window through which we see the sufferings of the Indian of the campo, or countryside." [5]
The album was Yupanqui's second. It was originally released in 1955 on the RCA Victor label. [6] [7] [8]
All of the songs on Camino del Indo were written by Yupanqui. The album includes songs recorded by Yupanqui earlier in his career. It was the No. 1 album in Argentina in 1955.
The album has been released internationally with editions in Spain, Mexico, Peru, and Puerto Rico. It was released in some countries under the name "The art of Atahualpa Yupanqui". It was reissued on compact disc in 1995 under the title "Camino del Indio, his first hits." [9]

The music of Argentina includes a variety of traditional, classical and popular genres. One of the country's most significant cultural contributions is the tango, which originated in Buenos Aires and its surroundings during the end of the 19th century and underwent profound changes throughout the 20th century. Folk music was particularly popular during the 20th century, experiencing a "boom" in popularity during the 1950s and 1960s thanks to artists such as Atahualpa Yupanqui and Mercedes Sosa, prominent figures of the Nuevo cancionero movement. In the mid-to-late 1960s, the countercultural scene of Buenos Aires originated Argentine rock, considered the earliest incarnation of Spanish-language rock for having an autochthonous identity that differed from that of England or the United States. It was widely embraced by the youth and since then has become part of the country's musical identity as much as traditional music. According to the Harvard Dictionary of Music, Argentina also "has one of the richest art music traditions and perhaps the most active contemporary musical life.

The folkloric music of Argentina traces its roots to the multiplicity of native indigenous cultures. It was shaped by four major historical-cultural events: Spanish colonization and forced African immigration caused by the slave trade during the Spanish domination ; the large wave of European immigration (1880–1950) and the large-scale internal migration (1930–1980).
