Composition and use
It was written by Atanasio Ndongo Miyone. The music was composed by Ramiro Sánchez López, who was a Spanish Lieutenant and the deputy director of music at the army headquarters located in Madrid. He received a prize of 25,000 pesetas for composing the music. The lyrics of the anthem were influenced by the end of Equatorial Guinea's colonization, with anti-colonization being a main theme.[1]
The anthem was first used on Equatorial Guinea's independence day, October 12, 1968, and has been in use ever since.[1]
