"'''Angola Avante!'''" (English: "Onwards 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.
