The National Anthem of El Salvador (Spanish: Himno Nacional de El Salvador) was adopted on 15 September 1879 and officially approved on 11 December 1953. The lyrics were written by General Juan José Cañas in 1856, with music composed by the Italian Juan Aberle in 1879.
The composition has been likened to "William Tell Overture" by critics.[1]
