Kuwait
"Amiri Salute"

Music by: unknown
In use: 1961-1978

Written in 1951 (and possibly in use since then on an unofficial basis), this former British colony adopted the "Amiri Salute" as its national anthem upon 1961 independence. The style is very typical of the "Arab fanfare" style in use in the area at the time.
