A version of the anthem sung in Arabic but the quality of the recording is rather rough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=117enCwBT2Y

A rather nice recording of the anthem that I very nearly used for the show but decided the music was out of character: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqWgiKoSZ8Q

About the Podcast

The Anthems Podcast
A show where I try to tell the story of a song that tells the story of a nation.
What's the story with national anthems? Well, that depends entirely on the anthem. From the wildly mundane to the historically significant and every what else. In each episode I'll tease out the story of a song that helps tell the story of a nation. The connections between them will be a surprise and if I've figured this out you will be entertained.

Questions, comments complaints, and corrections (please tell me where I'm wrong!) can get to me at anthemspod@gmail.com or at +1 (203) 759-8375
