until =The Anthem of Andalusia lyrics were written by Blas Infante, the father of Andalusian nationalism. They were adopted under the Statute of Autonomy of Andalusia [http://www.juntadeandalucia.es/SP/JDA/CDA/Secciones/Simbolos_de_Andalucia/JDA-Indice_Simbolos/0,20314,2,00.html Statute of Autonomy for Andalusia, article 6.2] . 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.
