The National Anthem of the Republic Kazakhstan
       

           The anthem is one of the main symbols of the state. The term "hymn" or "carol" comes from the Greek word "gimneo" meaning "Solemn song". The anthem is an important sound symbolism of key importance for effective socio-political consolidation and ethno-cultural identification of the country's citizens.

           In the history of  Independent Kazakhstan, the National anthem of the country was established twice – from 1992  to 2006.

After the Republic gained state sovereignty in 1992, a competition was announced for the music and lyrics of the national anthem of Kazakhstan. Following the results of the competition, it was decided to keep the musical edition of the Anthem of the Kazakh SSR. Thus, the authors of the music of the first anthem of independent Kazakhstan were Mukan Tulebayev, Yevgeny Brusilovsky and Latif Hamidi. In addition, the competition for the best text was won by a team of authors, famous poets Muzafar Alimbayev, Kadyr Myrzaliyev, Tumanbay Moldagaliyev and Zhadira Daribayeva.

         In order to increase the popularity of the country's sound symbol, a new national anthem was adopted in 2006. It was based on the selected popular among the people Patriotic song "Менің Қазақстаным!". In 1956, he wrote a song by Shamshi Kaldayakov on the words of Zhumeken Nazhimedenov.  The President of Kazakhstan - Nursultan Nazarbayev developed the original text of the musical work to give the song a high status of the national anthem and a more solemn performance. On January 6, in  2006, the Parliament of Kazakhstan at a joint session of the chambers amended the Decree "on state symbols" and approved the new national anthem of the country.
