The first Mozambiquan anthem, written and composed by Justino Sigaulane Chemane, is entitled "Viva, Viva a FRELIMO", FRELIMO being the main political party which brought the nation to independence in June 1975. However, after multi-party elections, a new anthem was needed and thus "Patria Amada" became the national anthem on April 30, 2002.
