Ungwana

"Ungwana" ("Liberty"), also known as "Comor Masiwa Mane" ("Four Comorian Islands"),[1] was the national anthem of Comoros from 1975[2] or 1976[3] to 1978, when a coup by Ahmed Abdallah and Bob Denard took place, and it was replaced by the current anthem, "Udzima wa ya Masiwa".[2] It was written and composed by Abdérémane Chihabiddine, better known as Abou Chihabi, a musician with the Comorian folk band Folkomor Océan. It was adopted under the Ali Soilih administration following a competition won by Chihabi.[3][4]
