Cântico da Liberdade
"Cântico da Liberdade" is the national anthem of Cape Verde. It was made official in 1996, replacing "Esta É a Nossa Pátria Bem Amada", which was also the same national anthem as that of Guinea Bissau, a legacy of both countries' joint independence. The music was composed by Adalberto Higino Tavares Silva, and the lyrics were written by Amílcar Spencer Lopes.Lyrics
