Origin of the Day of the National Anthem of Venezuela
The National Anthem Day of Venezuela is celebrated on May 25 because this is the date but of the year 1881 when President Guzmán Blanco decreed the song Gloria al Bravo Pueblo as the National Anthem of the Republic of Venezuela.
The National Anthem was born as part of an emotional song of a patriotic inspiration at the time of the dawn of the country's independence. The lyrics, as well as the music of the Anthem of Venezuela were composed by Vicente Salias and Juan José Landaeta around the year 1810, according to the available reviews.
However, in the decree signed establishing the National Anthem Day, neither the authors of the lyrics nor their composer were mentioned, which caused conflicting opinions. Currently, the National Anthem is performed in educational institutions. It is also played in public events and commemorative celebrations where some action or event that occurred in the history of our beloved country Venezuela is celebrated or honored.
