"Ditanyè" (usually written "'"), also known as "" ("The Anthem of Victory", ;) or "'" ("One Single Night"), is the national anthem of Burkina Faso. Then-president Thomas Sankara, who was a jazz guitarist, wrote the lyrics. The composer of the melody is unknown, but it has also been attributed to Sankara.
It was adopted during his presidency in a decree issued on 2 August 1984, effective midnight on 4 August 1984, the first anniversary of Sankara's accession to the presidency. The decree also renamed the country from Upper Volta to its current name. The anthem replaced the "Hymne National Voltaïque", the national anthem of Upper Volta.
