National Anthems

"La Brabançonne" was the national anthem of the Belgian Congo from 1908 to 1960. The originally-French title refers to Brabant; the name is usually maintained untranslated in Belgium's other two official languages, Dutch and German.

Vers l'avenir is a Belgian nationalist song which was also the national anthem of the Congo Free State. Upon the annexation of the Congo Free State as a colony of Belgium, this anthem was replaced with La Brabançonne, the national anthem of Belgium. Vers l'avenir's lyrics were written by Gentil Theodoor Antheunis (1840-1907). Follow on Twitter: https://Twitter.com/BasedCongo #CongoFreeState #NationalAnthem #Belgium
