National Anthem of the Mali Federation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Anthem of the Mali Federation was created per the Federation's Official Law of 18 June 1960.[1] It has the music of the current National Anthem of Mali composed by Banzumana Sissoko (with an old intro and other notes)[2] and lyrics of the current National Anthem of Senegal written by Léopold Sédar Senghor (slightly modified). After separation of the two countries, Mali kept the music (because the composer was from this country) and Senegal retained the lyrics of the Federation (which was written by who would become the first Senegalese President) but removing the name "Mali" and making other minor changes.
