Cover to Santos Vega, by Rafael Obligado. 1937 edition.
Santos Vega was a mythical Argentine gaucho, and invincible [citation needed]payador (a kind of minstrel that competed in singing competitions resembling dialectic discussions), who was only defeated by the Devil himself [citation needed], disguised as the payadorJuan sin Ropa ("John Clothless").
The myth states he is buried near San Clemente del Tuyú.
President Bartolomé Mitre was the first to compose a poem based on the legend. Afterwards, Hilario Ascasubi wrote "Santos Vega o los Mellizos de la Flor", a long poem in which the minstrel narrates the events. Soon after, Eduardo Gutiérrez published the "Story of Santos Vega and his friend Carmona prosecuted by justice" as a feuilleton. Finally, Rafael Obligado, inspired on Gutiérrez's work, composed his best poem "Santos Vega", one of the top works of Argentine literature.
