Les Trois Glorieuses was the anthem of the People's Republic of the Congo from January 1, 1970 through 1991, when the original anthem, La Congolaise was restored.
The anthem was named after a three-day uprising in 1963 which resulted in the overthrow of the first President, Fulbert Youlou.
The lyrics were written by Henri Lopès and the music was composed by Philippe Mockouamy.
