Pirayú
Pirayú is a town in the Paraguarí department of Paraguay. It is 50km from Asunción, in the vicinity of the Cordillera de los Altos. History Pirayú; formerly called ''Gayoso Chapel.'' Its original name stems from a land donation from the Gayoso feudatory family, a descendant of the local encomendero, to the local Franciscan order. The town nucleated from a small chapel around which a modest neighbourhood developed into a rural parish. In 1767 a Franciscan Temple was erected - although the site's choir loft dates the church as early as 1561 (or possibly 1567). After the end of the Great War, geopolitical rearrangements created a new district of the area, making the town a dependent of the department of Paraguarí. Its current jurisdiction includes, in the downtown area, four Barrios named No. 1 to 4, as well as twelve Companies: Paso Esperanza, Tuyucuá, Taba i, Potrero Avendaño, Costa Hũ, Cerro Verá, Azcurra, Ykuá Kaũ, Arroyo Servin, Yaguarón Yurú, Cerro León a ...

Alto Parana Department
The musical term alto, meaning "high" in Italian (Latin: ''altus''), historically refers to the contrapuntal part higher than the tenor and its associated vocal range. In four-part voice leading alto is the second-highest part, sung in choruses by either low women's or high men's voices. In vocal classification these are usually called contralto and male alto or countertenor. Etymology In choral music for mixed voices, "alto" describes the lowest part commonly sung by women. The explanation for the anomaly of this name is to be found not in the use of adult falsettists in choirs of men and boys but further back in innovations in composition during the mid-15th century. Before this time it was usual to write a melodic ''cantus'' or ''superius'' against a tenor (from Latin ''tenere'', to hold) or 'held' part, to which might be added a contratenor, which was in counterpoint with (in other words, against = contra) the tenor. The composers of Ockeghem's generation wrote two cont ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Guarania (music)
Guarania is a genre of music created in Paraguay by musician José Asunción Flores in 1925, with the purpose of expressing the character of the Paraguayan people. This is accomplished by the slow and melancholic rhythms and melodies used in the songs. Since its creation, the Guarania became the biggest musical phenomenon of Paraguay in the 20th century thanks to songs such as ''Jejuí'' (the first guarania), ''Kerasy'', ''India'' and ''Arribeño Resay'', which generated an immediate acceptance. The best known Guarania songs are ''Recuerdos de Ypakaraí'', ''Ne rendápe aju'', ''Mis noches sin ti'', ''Panambí Vera'', and ''Paraguaýpe''. The Guarania is highly regarded in the urban areas, but not in the countryside. This is because the people in the countryside prefer faster styles of songs, such as the paraguayan polka, which is danced more.
