"Caminando" is a 1991 song by Rubén Blades and his band Son del Solar, written by Blades. It is also the title track and one of three singles (with "Prohibido olvidar" and "Camaleón") from Caminando, a 1991 album which saw Blades briefly return from fusion styles to purer coro-driven salsa. The song has been covered by many artists Coque Malla on Canta a Rubén Blades. The 1991 song in 1994 became Blades' signature tune on his foray into Panamanian politics co-founding the Papa Egoró party.
The lyrics of the song commence: "Caminando, se aprende en la vida / Caminando, se sabe lo que es / Caminando, se cura la herida / Caminando, que deja el ayer".
The single was released as 7" on Columbia (COL 657454 7), and as a 12", 33 ⅓ RPM (Sony Discos Inc. EPS 81608) with Caminando (Extended Remix) 4:53 remixed by Javier Garza and Pablo Flores.
Caminando is a 1991 album by Rubén Blades, his first album after moving from Elektra to Sony International. The album was a critical and commercial success with Latin and salsa audiences, marking a temporary return to Blades earlier coro-heavy style which marked the collaborations with Willie Colón of a decade earlier on Fania. The album also reinstated the political content of his music, though some listeners still found the social criticism lacking. Blades new band for Sony, Son del Solar, includes four of the Seis del Solar members from his Elektra albums: percussionists Ralph Irizarry, Eddy Montalvo and Robby Ameen with pianist Oscar Hernández. The album reached number three on the Billboard Tropical Albums chart and received a Grammy nomination for Best Tropical Latin Album in 1992.
