Currently administered as a municipality of the Netherlands (and therefore having the Dutch anthem as its official national anthem), Bonaire was part of the Netherlands Antilles until its dissolution in 2010. From 1964-2000, Bonaire’s anthem served as the territorial anthem for the entire Netherlands Antilles (without the lyrics) until a new anthem was selected for that territory. Bonaire’s anthem is now used as the municipal anthem of Bonaire.
