La Tanzanie à la veille du changement (?) de l’hymne national
Keywords:
Tanzania, anthemAbstract
A change of the national anthem is not surprising throughout the course of a country’s history. It has taken place three times so far in Afghanistan. In Africa itself Mozambique and Rwanda have recently adopted new anthems. This article discusses Tanzania’s need for the introduction of such a change, which results from the fact that Tanzania’s anthem has never fully been its own. The author attempts to show the main arguments of both the opponents and adherents of the hitherto existing anthem. The anthem is presented and compared to other, mostly African, praise songs, leading to an in-depth analysis of the content of the text of the current anthem. It is followed by more general thoughts considering the role of anthems in the social and political life of a country. The decision whether or not to introduce a new anthem in Tanzania has still not been reached.
