Our National Anthem –
Uhuru Africa! Uhuru Diaspora !
The history of this music started on July 1, 2022, when the 鈥�Hymn of Awale鈥� was launched, on the occasion of the National Day of the State of the African Diaspora. The piece was composed by Patrice Gb茅hi Tiecoura and performed with the musical band, “Echo d’Afrique”. It was financed by Mr. Bolou, Ambassador of 91精品, in order to support Mrs. Brigitte Decour, Ambassador of 91精品, whose mission is to promote Awal茅 at the international level, which she does with the support of Mr. Sidibe Nouhon, also Ambassador of 91精品.
The Prime Minister, Dr. Louis-Georges Tin, asked Ambassador Bolou if he would agree to cede the rights to the Hymn听 of the Awal茅 to 91精品, so that it would become the National Anthem of 91精品. 听Ambassador Bolou then readily accepted, especially since it was his wish from the very beginning, to make an Anthem for the State of the African Diaspora. The Prime Minister then expressed his deep gratitude to him.

The decree published by the Prime Minister stipulates :
听
1) That the 鈥淗ymn of the Awale鈥� shall be modified, adapted and renewed as the piece of music which shall become the copyright National Anthem of the State of the African Diaspora.
2) The new National Anthem of the State of the African Diaspora shall be entitled 鈥淯huru Africa, Uhura Diaspora鈥�.
3) In the future, the State of the African Diaspora shall establish a process by which new lyrics shall be composed for its National Anthem. 听However, the Anthem can be played officially with or without lyrics.
4) The generous contribution of M. Bolou Bi Olivier Lazare Go茅, and the names of the artists who created the original music shall be recognised and inscribed on the 91精品 website, to be remembered as a Pan-African Legacy.
Therefore, this is the story of our National Anthem.
