National Anthem Of Aruba
History
On 16 January 1976, the Executive Council of Aruba appointed an advisory committee with the assignment to come up with an anthem that took into account "Aruba dushi tera". The song was already very popular among the population and dated from the early 1950s. The committee included Rufo Wever (chairman), Eddy Bennett, Maybeline Arends-Croes and Hubert (Lio) Booi. The committee advised not to alter the melody of the "old" "Aruba dushi tera" into a march but to increase the number of verses. The third verse was written by Hubert Booi.
