La Zaïroise

La Zaïroise was the 1972-1997 valid national anthem of Zaire, now the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Central Africa. The text was written by Joseph Lutumba, the music was composed by Simon -Pierre Boka di Mpasi Londi. With the renaming of the country " Zaire " they replaced the Anthem Debout Congolais introduced in 1960, which had also been texted by Joseph Lutumba and set to music by Simon -Pierre Boka di Mpasi Londi. Since the return to the name " Congo " the original hymn is also reused.
