The Himno de Aragón (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈimno ðe aɾaˈɣon], "Anthem of Aragon"), is the official anthem of the autonomous community of Aragon, in Spain. Its music, based on the oldest Aragonese musical tradition, was written by Aragonese composer Antón García Abril, with lyrics written by Aragonese poets Ildefonso Manuel Gil, Ángel Guinda, Rosendo Tello and Manuel Vilas. This anthem highlights values such as freedom, justice, reason, truth and open land, which have historically been associated with Aragonese as a people.
Its use was regulated by a 1989 Aragonese Act, which states that the Anthem of Aragon will be played in all relevant official public events organized by the autonomous community of Aragon, or other local level Aragonese administration. The Act also indicates that the Anthem can be sung in any of the languages of Aragon. However, the Act does not supply an official version of the lyrics in Aragonese or Catalan.
A different song, the Canto a la libertad ("Song for Freedom"), written by José Antonio Labordeta, is often regarded as the unofficial anthem of Aragon.
