Atanasio Ndongo Miyone

Atanasio Ndongo Miyone (1928 – March 26, 1969) was an Equatoguinean musician, writer, and Fang political figure.

[3] After Spain granted Equatorial Guinea independence in 1968, he was defeated by Macías in the country's first elections; though he became the nation's foreign minister, he remained discontent with the outcome.

[2] Ndongo wrote the lyrics for Equatorial Guinea's national anthem, "Caminemos pisando las sendas de nuestra inmensa felicidad" ("Let Us Tread the Path of our Immense Happiness"), in 1968.

Ndongo's anthem was first played on October 12, 1968, Equatorial Guinea's independence day, and was well-received by his countrymen.

[1] The lyrics of the anthem were influenced by the end of Equatorial Guinea's colonization, with de-colonization being a main theme.
