Himno Nacional del Uruguay is the national anthem of Uruguay, with lyrics by Francisco Acuña de Figueroa and music by Francisco José Debali, officially adopted in 1845. It is noted for its length in full form and its operatic, martial style. Short instrumental excerpts circulate online as soundboard clips for sports, patriotic posts and meme edits, where the recognisable brass fanfare instantly identifies Uruguay without any lyrics or singing needing to be heard.
