"La Renaissance" is the national anthem of the Central African Republic; it was adopted upon independence in 1960.[1] The words were written by the then Prime Minister, Barthélémy Boganda. The music was composed by French composer Herbert Pepper, who also composed the national anthem of Senegal, "Pincez Tous vos Koras, Frappez les Balafons". The song was also the national anthem of the Central African Empire.
There is also a version in the Sango language entitled "E Zingo".
