Meniń Qazaqstanym (Cyrillic: Менің Қазақстаным, pronounced [mjɪnɪɴ qɑzɑqˈstɑnəm]; lit. 'My Kazakhstan'), officially known as the State Anthem of the Republic of Kazakhstan[1], is the national anthem of Kazakhstan, adopted on 7 January 2006.[2] It is based on a homonymous song written in 1956 composed by Shamshi Kaldayakov and written by Jumeken Najimedenov.[3] This replaced the former anthem used after independence, which followed the melody of the anthem of the Kazakh SSR. The original lyrics were modified by president Nursultan Nazarbayev before the decree was issued.[4]

Origins

This song is based on a Kazakh patriotic song of the same name written in 1956 in response to the Soviet Virgin Lands program. There is debate over whether it was to celebrate the program or to insist Soviet authorities should not turn Kazakhstan into Russia's corn belt.[5]

1 shýmaq: Altyn kún aspany, Altyn dán dalasy, Erliktiń dastany – Elime qarashy! 1 kópir: Ejelden er degen, Dańqymyz shyqty ǵoı, Namysyn bermegen, Qazaǵym myqty ǵoı!

Protocol

"Meniń Qazaqstanym" is played during official state ceremonies and social functions, such as sporting events involving national sports teams of Kazakhstan. All radio stations and television networks across the country play the national anthem twice, once during "Sign-On" and "Sign-Off" every day, the performance of the anthem is not regulated by any government law; however, there is traditional protocol that is employed during a performance of the song. Most citizens put their hands over their heart while singing the anthem following United States practice. Traditionally universal etiquette is to stand during the performance. Officers and personnel of the Kazakh Armed Forces offer a Russian-style military salute when in uniform during the performance of the anthem when not in formation.

2012 sporting event incident

In March 2012, a parody national anthem, "O Kazakhstan", featured in the soundtrack of the movie Borat, was mistakenly and hilariously played at the International Shooting Grand Prix in Kuwait. The Gold-winning medalist, Mariya Dmitriyenko, stood on the dais while the entire parody was played. The team complained, and the award ceremony was re-staged. The incident apparently resulted from the wrong song being downloaded from YouTube at the last minute.[9][10] Senior officials in Kazakhstan were furious with the error and vowed to make a complaint to their Kuwaiti counterparts.

A similar incident had taken place earlier that month at the grand opening of a ski resort in Kostanai, in which the first bar of Ricky Martin's single "Livin' La Vida Loca" was played instead of "Meniń Qazaqstanym".
