Song Information:

Composed by Barrios Mangore of Paraguay (1885-1944)
This arrangement borrows instruments and feelings from other
Latin American nations so it is not traditional Guarani Indian music
in a strict sense. There is to be found even a touch of Louisiana Cajun Zydeco with the accordion and triangle.

Guaraní are a group of culturally related indigenous peoples of South America, distinguished from the related Tupi by their use of the Guaraní language. The traditional range of the Guaraní people is between the Uruguay River and lower Paraguay River in what is now Paraguay, the Corrientes and Entre Rios Provinces of Argentina, southern Brazil and parts of Uruguay and Bolivia.[1] There are contemporary Guaraní populations in these areas, though their demographic dominance of the region has been reduced by European colonisation and the commensurate rise of the mestizo. Nevertheless, the Guaraní language is still widely spoken across traditional Guaraní homelands, most notably in Paraguay where it is used amongst the majority of the population (with the exception of the middle and upper classes in urban areas) as a symbol of national distinctiveness, and is an official language.
