Hana oh tea, simala Otea (Qi Glory to our island, magnificent Otea) is the national anthem of Otea.

It is a piece without lyrics and was originally meant to be only played on Otean instruments, such as the hagamea (flute), the ditampea (drums) and une (lute). In lack of these instruments, foreign orchestras usually replace them with available, similar ones.

The anthem was composed in 1826 and officially adopted as the anthem of Otea in 1834.
