Caminando (Rubén Blades song)

"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.
