The National Anthem of the Mali Federation is a former national anthem that was created per the Federation's Official Law of 18 June 1960.[1] It uses the music of the current national anthem of Mali composed by Banzumana Sissoko,[2] and its lyrics are a slightly modified version of those of the national anthem of Senegal written by Léopold Sédar Senghor. After separation of the two countries, Mali kept the music (as the composer was from this country) and Senegal retained the lyrics of the Federation (which was written by who would become the first Senegalese President), albeit removing the name "Mali" among other minor changes.
