"La Balanguera" (Balearic Catalan: [lə bələŋˈɡeɾə]) is the official anthem of the Balearic island of Majorca, Spain. It is based on a poem by Joan Alcover i Maspons about an ancient Majorcan children's song. The music is a work by Catalan composer Amadeu Vives, and in November 1996 the Consell Insular de Mallorca made it the anthem for the Island.
