Cântico da Liberdade
National anthem of Cape Verde
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Cântico da Liberdade" (English: "Chant of Freedom") is the national anthem of Cape Verde. It was made official in 1996, replacing "Esta É a Nossa Pátria Amada", which was also the national anthem of Guinea Bissau, a legacy of both countries' joint independence. The music was composed by Adalberto Higino Tavares Silva (1961–), and the lyrics were written by Amílcar Spencer Lopes (1948–).[1]
