The National Anthem of Mexico, known as "Himno Nacional Mexicano," was officially adopted in 1943. The music was composed by Jaime Nunó in 1853, while the lyrics were written by Francisco González Bocanegra in 1853. The anthem is a symbol of national pride and unity, often played at public events and ceremonies. The anthem consists of ten stanzas, but only the first and the chorus are typically sung. Its themes celebrate the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought for Mexico's independence and sovereignty. The Himno Nacional is an important part of Mexican culture and identity.
