Himno Nacional Mexicano

The lyrics of the national anthem were written by Francisco González Bocanegra, a poet from San Luis Potosí who won an 1853 contest — according to a famous anecdote, his fiancée locked him in a room until he finished his entry. The music is by Jaime Nunó, a Spanish-born band director, and the anthem was first performed publicly on September 15, 1854.

A common trick on the exam is swapping their roles: remember that Bocanegra was the poet and Nunó the musician.
