April 13th is Brazilian National Anthem
April 13th is Brazilian National Anthem Day, in honor of the official composition of the National Anthem of Brazil. The date marks the anniversary of the publication of the lyrics of the anthem in the Official Gazette in 1831, when it was officially adopted by the imperial government, although the melody had already been played at public events since the 1820s.
Composed by Osório Duque-Estrada, who wrote the lyrics, and Francisco Manuel da Silva, author of the melody, the Brazilian National Anthem is a symbol of patriotism, unity and national pride. It is played at important civic moments, such as official ceremonies and sporting events, and is sung by millions of Brazilians, reflecting identity and love for the country.
The date is an opportunity for citizens to reflect on the meaning of the anthem and its importance in the formation of national consciousness. Schools, institutions and public organizations often hold civic events to celebrate the date and reinforce the bond of respect for the country. Brazilian National Anthem Day is a moment to strengthen the feeling of unity and solidarity among Brazilians.
