vocal recording of the anthem

"Viva, Viva a FRELIMO" (English: "Long Live FRELIMO") was the national anthem of Mozambique from independence from Portugal on 25 June 1975 to 30 April 2002, when it was replaced by "Pátria Amada".

History

The anthem was written by Justino Sigaulane Chemane in 1975 and adopted as the national anthem of the People's Republic of Mozambique on 25 June 1975. The lyrics celebrate Mozambique's independence, socialism and Mozambique's main political party, FRELIMO, which brought the country to its independence in 1975.

In 1994, multi-party elections were held in Mozambique, and consequently the lyrics to the anthem were often omitted from most public performances and radio broadcasts, as they were felt to be inappropriate in a multi-party, capitalist country.^[1] In April 1997, the government initiated a national contest to see who could write the best new lyrics for the national anthem. Initially, this contest sought to change the lyrics and keep the melody, however eventually the requirement for the melody was dropped. "Pátria Amada" became Mozambique's national anthem on 30 April 2002, after a majority vote by the Assembly of the Republic.^[2]

I Viva Viva a FRELIMO, Guia do Povo Moçambicano! Povo heróico qu'arma em punho O colonialismo derubou.

Que por ti o Povo lutará. II Unido ao mundo inteiro, Lutando contra a burguesia, Nossa Pátria será túmulo Do capitalismo e exploração. O Povo Moçambicano De operários e de camponeses, Engajado no trabalho A riqueza sempre brotará. Coro	1 2	I Viva Viva FRELIMO Guide of the Mozambican People Heroic People who, gun in hand, toppled colonialism.
