For the following anthems, I have been unable to find any recordings of vocal performances anywhere. I would like to hear from anyone who might have one or more of these available:

Burundi
Comoros (French version)
Djibouti
Ethiopia
Fiji (Fijian version)
Kenya (English version)
Guinea (French version)
Marshall Islands (Marshallese version)
Mauritania (not counting a "spoken" fragment)
Nauru (English version)
São Tomé and Príncipe

I have posted other relevant information here: http://www.nationalanthems.us/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1160310553/0#0

The German version of the Brabançonne is available on the Finnish CD "Europe into the New Millennium – The National Anthems of the EU Countries in the original languages" (Ondine ODE 999-2C, apparently no longer available). Reinhard Popp has a recording of Kenya's anthem in English.

I had forgotten about the Finnish CD--and I already have that recording, saved on my computer! Thanks for reminding me about it. (I have modified my post.)

I will contact Mr. Popp regarding the Kenya anthem.

I apologise for my intrusion, but when I saw this topic about vocal performances, I thought it was useless to create another one.
I'm looking for a compilation of vocal national anthems, but on amazon.com I've found only instrumental versions. Can any of you help me? Thanks

There is no nearly complete vocal compilation except for Michael Sauser's recordings (which I personally do not like):

A few good (mostly a cappella) recordings with native speakers are available on the Japanese CD "National Anthems of the World sung in native language":

See also the selections "Fußballjahr 2006 – 32 Nationalhymnen" (native speakers) and "Les Hymnes Officiels de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby, France 2007" (no native speakers, but very good):
