Which song is Ghana’s national anthem, prominently sung during Independence Day ceremonies?

Ghana’s national anthem, prominently sung during Independence Day ceremonies, is “God Bless Our Homeland Ghana.”

The anthem’s lyrics were written by Michael Kwame Gbordzoe, while the music is credited to Philip Gbeho. It became Ghana’s national anthem after the country gained independence from the United Kingdom on March 6, 1957.

Ghana’s independence was a landmark event in modern African history because it was the first sub-Saharan African country to gain independence from colonial rule in the postwar period. Celebrations commonly include military displays, school performances, cultural events, and the raising of the national flag.

The song is sometimes confused with “Lift High the Flag of Ghana,” which was Ghana’s earlier anthem before “God Bless Our Homeland Ghana” was adopted. Independence Day itself is March 6, while Republic Day, observed on July 1 until its status changed, commemorated a later constitutional milestone.
