Naing Myanmar

Naing Myanmar (Burmese: နိုင်မြန်မာ; born 1956/1957[1]) is a Burmese musician notable for writing "Kabar Ma Kyay Buu [my]" (Burmese: ကမ္ဘာမကြေဘူး), a protest song used during Myanmar's 8888 Uprising and again throughout the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état.[2]

Naing Myanmar was called "one of the Southeast Asian nation's most prominent musicians" by the BBC.[3] In 2021, there was an Internet hoax that Naing Myanmar died after battling COVID-19.[4] Although he had contracted COVID-19 while also suffering from coronary heart disease, Naing Myanmar survived.[1]

Niang Myanmar has collaborated with artists such as May Kha Lar.[5] In 2023, Naing Myanmar's son Byu Har, a notable hip-hop artist, was arrested for criticizing the government of Myanmar.[3]
