Obras maestras de la guarania Vol. III

When you immerse yourself in Masterpieces of Guarania Vol. III, you are exploring the legacy of José Asunción Flores, the man who shaped guarania. Born in Asunción in 1904, Flores trained from a young age in the Police Band, where he learned the fundamentals of the trombone and began to ponder how to reinterpret the popular music of his homeland. It wasn't a direct path; before that, as a mere child, he was already managing to help at home with informal jobs, showing early determination.

About the album

Obras maestras de la guarania Vol. III, according to DoReSol

The spark of guarania ignited around 1924. Flores had been experimenting with traditional melodies and rhythms, seeking a distinctive sound. The result was a genre recognized for its slow tempos and a particular melodic structure, something deeply felt in this Vol. III. It's as if you were listening to the foundations of a musical language he invented himself, a sound that connects directly with the Paraguayan soul.

This album, although not the first in his career, is a window into the consolidation of his proposal. The pieces that make up Masterpieces of Guarania Vol. III are a reflection of that tireless search for his own sound, a style that departs from the conventional to offer a more intimate and reflective sonic experience. It's the perfect opportunity to understand where guarania comes from and how José Asunción Flores turned it into something unique.
