sound_title ="Somalia, Wake Up" or "Soomaaliyeey toosoo" is the national anthem of Somalia and was adopted by the Transitional Federal Government in 2000. It was chosen to replace the then wordless anthem, written by Giuseppe Blanc, which had been in use since 1960. [ [http://david.national-anthems.net/so.htm National Anthems including midi] ]

"Soomaaliyeey toosoo" is a well known Somali song that dates from the early 1940s and, according to the Somali Government, was written by Ali Mire Awale in 1947. [ [http://www.somaligovernment.org/index.php?mod=pages_country&form=page&page=10 Somali Government] ] However some sources suggest that it was written by Ali Mire Awale and Yusuf Haji Adan [ [http://books.google.com/books?id=AVg0833fI-0C&pg=PA80&lpg=PA80&dq=%22ali+mire+awale%22&source=web&ots=IpEH5GklT3&sig=C5CHK7elxw42nJ6_qPoTg1vBmZg "The Camel in Somali Oral Tradition"] by Axmed Cali Abokor ISBN 91-7106-269-6] sometime in the 1940s.

It was sung to celebrate independence day, July 1 1960 and was widely known and sung by children in the mornings at schools.
