"Tera di Solo y suave biento" (English: "Country of sun and gentle breeze"), also known as the "Himno di Boneiru" ("Anthem of Bonaire") and originally the "Himno Boneriano" ("Bonairean Anthem"),[1] is the anthem of Bonaire, a special municipality of the Netherlands in the Caribbean. The music was composed by J.B.A. (Tony) Palm, and the official lyrics, which are in Papiamentu, were written by Hubert (Lio) Booi (1919–2014).[2] From 1964 to 2000, it also served as the anthem of the Netherlands Antilles.
Since 15 December 1981, "Tera di Solo y suave biento" has been the official anthem of Bonaire, after its text and melody were made law in the island decree dated 11 December 1981, No. 2.[3]
