"Together, Seychellois" is the national anthem of Seychelles. It became the island country's national anthem in 1996, three years after the Constitution was made; before that, Seychelles had another national anthem.[1] The words of the song were written in just one day by David François Marc André and George Charles Robert Payet, who both composed the music as well. The anthem was arranged by Russian band conductor Anatoliy Savatinov, and it was first recorded in the city of Paris.[2][3]
