Vengo is Chilean hip-hop artist Ana Tijoux's fourth solo studio album, released in March, 2014. Its debut single "Vengo" was released on Spin in January of the same year. Vengo was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album at the 2015 Ceremony.

A reviewer at NPR called it "virtually flawless", and MTV said it was "some of the most dazzling hip-hop this year".

Several reviewers noted the inclusion of Andean music elements, especially the pan flute. NPR's reviewer said it was "refreshing" and noted Andean music has been "often done a disservice by "world music" labels." Of the flute, the MTV reviewer said "it's a bit challenging to extricate the instrument from its associations with corny new age compilations ... Tijoux is attempting a tough task to take back and breathe new life into music that has a rich heritage, but has been commercialized and marginalized into schlock."
