"Gloria al Bravo Pueblo" is the national anthem of Venezuela. Its lyrics were written by physician and journalist Vicente Salias in 1810, set to music later composed by musician Juan José Landaeta. Owing to musical similarities with the French national anthem, beginning in 1840 “Gloria al Bravo Pueblo” was known as “La Marsellesa Venezolana”. It was declared Venezuela’s national anthem by decree of President Antonio Guzmán Blanco on May 25, 1881.
