The most famous style of music is Guarania, created by the Paraguayan musician José Asunción Flores in 1926.
[6] Examples of Paraguayan Guarania are Juan B. Mora – Imposible, Duo Ñamandu – Che Rope'a Vype, Lorenzo Perez – Mi Dicha Lejana, Los Indianos – Mis Noches Sin Ti and others.
The greatest influence outside Paraguay was Luís Alberto del Paraná y su Trío Los Paraguayos.
Music of a strongly Paraguayan character is also heard in the Argentine provinces of Misiones, Formosa and Corrientes, across the River Paraná from Paraguay itself.
