About musical export. In January 1964 there was a revolution in Zanzibar. The new government took up the issue of creating a new anthem and ask the USSR for help. The Union of Composers instructed famous Russian composer Karen Khachaturian to write the anthem. To that end he was to be sent to the island for 3 weeks to "familiarize himself with the musical culture of the country". It is not known if the "tour" took place, but on the 24th of April Zanzibar merged with Tanganyika and Tanzania was formed. The need for a new anthem was thus of no importance.
