SERIE AMERICANA by Hector Ayala to Irma Constanzo 4 / GUARANIA / PARAGUAY The guarania is a paraguayan style of song created by a musician called José Asunción Flores in 1925. He wanted to find a music to express the character of the paraguayan man beyond that expressed by the polca and its derivatives, so he developed a combination of slow rythms and melodies, some that were melancholic and others of an heroic character. Since its appearance the Guarania has turned into a phenomenon of major significance in paraguayan music of the 20th century. This genre has an extraordinary acceptance. Its author, after succesive investigations, planned a symphonic way of guarania, creating orchestral poems, songs with symphonic accompaniment and finaly symphonic poems of universal transcendence. Soon numerous composers adopted the Guarania as a form of expression, increasing its repertoire so that it enjoys great popularity in urban centres, but not in the countryside. The accompanying MIDI on the Classical Guitar Tablature page is only to be used as a guide, because of the polyrhythmic writing and sense of this music. Tablature by Hernán G.
