The Colombian National Anthem was originally written in 1887 by Colombian President Rafael Nunez. Initially, it was a poem read by Nunez in honor of the celebration of the Independence of Cartegena. It was later set to music by the Italian composer Oreste Sindici and grew widely in popularity. In 1920, a law declared it the official national anthem of Colombia. In 1995, a different law decreed that it be played twice daily (6 am and 6pm) on all radio and TV stations in the country. Here is the link to the TV version of the song. Since today Colombians celebrate their independence, it might be nice to watch it.
