"Himno Nacional de El Salvador" (Spanish Language National Anthem of El Salvador) is the national anthem of El Salvador. Written by General Juan José Cañas with music composed by the Italian Juan Aberle in 1856, the anthem was adopted as the national song on September 15, 1879, and officially recognized by the government on December 11, 1953. Commonly, only the chorus (which is repeated) is played and sung at sporting events and official diplomatic ceremonies, the anthem is ended before the first verse (the slow music) due to the chorus being the strongest musical part of the anthem.
