A similar incident happened in Kostanai oblast in Kazakhstan at the opening of a ski festival in the beginning of March. Kazakhstan anthem was announced after the speech of the oblast Akim (Governor) Nuraly Sauakassov. However, Ricky Martin's Livin' La Vida Loca played instead of the anthem. The song was replaced with the anthem in a few seconds.
