Hi, Im looking for information about the national anthem of Uganda.

Who wrote the Ugandan national anthem (lyrics and music)?

When was the national anthem of Uganda officially adopted?

Please add any valuable information like links to anthem’s mp3, video, lyrics, free sheet music etc.

The National anthem of Uganda is “Oh Uganda, Land of Beauty!”.

Uganda’s anthem lyrics were written by George Wilberforce KAKOMOA and the music was written by George Wilberforce KAKOMOA.

Oh Uganda! may God uphold thee,

We lay our future in thy hand.

United, free,

For liberty

Together we’ll always stand.

Oh Uganda! the land of freedom.

Our love and labour we give,

And with neighbours all

At our country’s call

In peace and friendship we’ll live.

Oh Uganda! the land that feeds us

By sun and fertile soil grown.

For our own dear land,

We’ll always stand,

The Pearl of Africa’s Crown.

 

Note: The anthem is one of the shortest in the world, and is occasionally performed twice in a row to lengthen it.
