The national anthem of Bolivia (Spanish: Himno Nacional de Bolivia), also known as Bolivianos, el Hado Propicio (transl.  'Bolivians, a most Favorable Destiny') was adopted in 1851. José Ignacio de Sanjinés, a signer of both the Bolivian Declaration of Independence and the first Bolivian Constitution, wrote the lyrics. The music was composed by an Italian, Leopoldo Benedetto Vincenti.
