NATIONAL ANTHEM OF SAMOA: O LE FU'A O LE SA'OLOTOGA O SAMOA | THE BANNER OF FREEDOM

"The Banner of Freedom" (Samoan: O Le Fu'a o Le Sa'olotoga o Samoa), known also as Samoa Tula'i (Samoa, Arise) is the national anthem of Samoa. Both the words (which reference the country's flag) and the music were composed by Sauni Iiga Kuresa. The anthem was composed in response to a public competition to select a new anthem when the United Nations conferred self-government on Samoa in 1948, and was chosen from among fifteen entries. It was performed publicly for the first time on 1 June 1948, and was subsequently played at all public ceremonies attended by the High Commissioner and performed after "God Save the Queen" on official occasions. It was retained as the national anthem upon Samoa's gaining of independence from New Zealand in 1962.

The anthem is recognised by the Official Flag and National Anthem of Samoa Act 1994. When it is sung or played in public people and vehicles must stop and remain stationary until the performance is complete. Those who are disrespectful of the national anthem while it is being played or who insult it can be imprisoned for up to six months.
