Oceania

4 questions · Geography

From the red continent to the Pacific islands: the anthems of Oceania reflect both the ties to Britain and the culture of Indigenous peoples. In this small pack you hear the region's anthems and match them. You hear a short excerpt and name the country; on reveal the flag and background on the anthem appear. Most recordings are instrumental performances by the United States Navy Band; the rest come from other public-domain sources. All are public domain and sourced via Wikimedia Commons. New Zealand, for instance, has two official anthems, and ‘God Defend New Zealand’ is often sung first in Māori.
