"La Renaissance" is the national anthem of the Central African Republic. It was adopted upon the republic's independence in 1960.[1] The words were written by 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.
The Sango language version of the anthem is entitled "E Zingo".
