"Mexicanos, al grito de guerra" - National Anthem of Mexico

The "Mexican National Anthem", also known by its incipit "Mexicans, at the Cry of War",[b] is the official national anthem of the United Mexican States. Its lyrics, composed by poet Francisco González Bocanegra after a Federal contest in 1853, allude to historical Mexican victories in battle and cries of defending the homeland. In 1854, Jaime Nunó composed the music to the lyrics after a request from González. The national anthem, consisting of ten stanzas and a chorus, effectively entered into use on September 16, 1854.
