“Gloria al bravo pueblo,
que el yugo lanzo,
La ley respetando,
la virtud y honor…”
National anthem of Venezuela is adorned with nothing other than respect for the country, as it inculcates a sense of pride among the citizens of Venezuela. The anthem was composed by Vicente Salias and later the music was recreated by Juan José Landaeta and finally it came to be adopted on 1881. Though different theories have been woven around the origin of the national anthem of Venezuela, some believe that the real composer was Andres Bello.
The significance of this particular national anthem lies in the fact that it is a solemn representation of the patriotic feelings that led to the famous declaration of independence from the Spanish colonial rule. It was in May 25, 1881 that Antonio Guzman Blanco, who was the then President of the country, passed a decree whereby this song was officially accepted as the National anthem of the Republic of Venezuela.
