Caminemos pisando las sendas de nuestra inmensa felicidad


"Caminemos pisando las sendas de nuestra inmensa felicidad" is the national anthem of Equatorial Guinea.

Composition and use

It was written by Atanasio Ndongo Miyone. The music was composed by Ramiro Sánchez López, who was a Spanish lieutenant and the deputy director of music at the army headquarters located in Madrid. He received a prize of 25,000 pesetas for composing the music. Its lyrics were influenced by the end of Equatorial Guinea's colonization, with anti-colonization being a main theme.
It was first used on Equatorial Guinea's independence day, October 12, 1968, and has been in use ever since.
