'''Angola Avante!''' (English: "Forward Angola") is the [[national anthem]] of the [[Angola|Republic of Angola]].  Rui Alberto Vieira Dias Mingas composed the music, while the lyrics were authored by Manuel Rui Alves Monteiro.  It was adopted as the national anthem in November 1975, when the country gained its independence from [[Portugal]].  The lyrics make reference to several key events of the [[MPLA|People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola]] (MPLA), which has been in power since independence and was the [[Single-party state|only party]] in Angola until 1992.

It was adopted in 1975 upon independence from [[Portugal]].
