The "National Anthem of the Republic of Colombia" (Spanish: Himno Nacional de la República de Colombia) is the official name of the national anthem of Colombia. It is largely the creation of José Domingo Torres, an actor from Bogotá, who took a poem written by former Colombian president Rafael Núñez and asked a friend, Italian opera singer Oreste Sindici who migrated to Colombia, to set it to music. The official announcement of the song came in the form of Act 33 of 28 October 1920. The law 198 of 1995, which legislates national symbols, made mandatory for all radio and television in the country to broadcast the anthem both at 6:00 am and at 6:00 pm (the latter half, at various times for all free-to-air television channels), public addresses of the President of the Republic and other official events.
