Soomaaliyeey toosoo was the unofficial national song but the official song was composed by some Italian guy....and I never heard of it .....

Music by: Giuseppe Blanc
In use: 1960-2000

Somalia's first anthem, in use from independence in 1960 until 2000 has no words and no title. The composer of the music also wrote the anthem for Benito Mussolini's fascist dictatorship in Italy, the Somali anthem possibly dates from this time, as it was governed by Italy until 1941, and was then under an Italian-administered UN Trusteeship until independence in 1960.

Here it is. It was composed by Giuseppe Blanc who was the composer of Mussolini and this is actually the national anthem of the south during the truesteeship and when north and south was connected, the idea was to use qoloba calankeedu waa ceynoo, composed and everything by the father of Somali music Cabdullahi Qarshe (AUN).
