Hino da Independência

The Hino da Independência (Portuguese for Independence Anthem) is a Brazilian official patriotic song commemorating the country's declaration of independence from Portugal. The anthem was composed in 1822 by Emperor Pedro I, the lead figure in the country's struggle for independence, and the lyrics were written by poet Evaristo da Veiga.

It is sung on September 7 each year in Brazil.
