The folk music included in the soundtrack has no connection to the authentic music of Kazakhstan. The album features songs mainly by Gypsy artists and includes music by Erran Baron Cohen, founding member of ZOHAR Sound System and brother of Borat star Sacha Baron Cohen, as well as songs sung by Sacha Baron Cohen himself in character as Borat.
In 2006, Macedonian Romani singer Esma Redžepova planned to file a lawsuit against the producers of the movie together with Naat Veliov from Kočani Orkestar (BBC in Macedonian language). Her song Chaje Šukarije is the featured, which she claims was used without her permission. She is demanding a 800,000 euro ($1,000,000) compensation from the producers of the film, otherwise she will bring the case to court and demand a much higher amount.[2]
O Kazakhstan is the fictional national anthem for Kazakhstan used in the movie Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. It was composed by Erran Baron Cohen. The tune of the song is similar to that of a military march. The actual Kazakh anthem is "My Kazakhstan", the lyrics of which are not similar to O Kazakhstan.
In March 2012, the parody national anthem was mistakenly played at the H.H. The Amir of Kuwait International Shooting Grand Prix in Kuwait. The Gold Winning medalist, Maria Dmitrienko, stood on the dais while the entire parody was played. The team complained, and the award ceremony was re staged. The incident apparently resulted from the wrong song being downloaded from the Internet. [3][4]
