As part of the celebrations of the 200 Years of Guanajuato as a free and sovereign federative State, the First Intonation of the State Anthem was held in the Solemn Session of the Legislative Power.

The Secretary of Government, Jesus Oviedo Herrera, representing the Governor, Diego Sinhue Rodriguez Vallejo, noted the importance of having a musical work that will be a symbol of identity, union, respect and culture.

Oviedo Herrera pointed out that this masterful musical work was created by the talent, creativity and passion of a great composer, Eduardo Francisco Munoz Esquivel, who leaves a great legacy for present and future generations, a great source of pride.

The anthem is made up of lyrics and music, with stanzas in tenths, one of the most complex metric figures in Latin American poetics, it is a symbol that strengthens the civic formation and identity of the present and future generations of Guanajuatenses.

“The lyrics of our State Anthem capture the historical and cultural richness of Guanajuato, its geography, its heroes and heroines; its ideals, its libertarian conquests and its great contribution to the democratic life of Mexico, as well as its vision of the future”, noted Oviedo.

The Secretary of Government thanked, on behalf of the Celebrations Commission for the 200 Years of Guanajuato as a Free and Sovereign Federative State, the institutional participation of the Legislative, Executive and Judicial Powers, to have the Law of the Seal, the Flag and the State Anthem for Guanajuato.
