Paraguay Time and Date Paraguay Culture Back to Top Paraguayans of all classes viewed family and kin as the center of the social universe. Anyone not related through blood or marriage was regarded with reserve, if not distrust. People expected to be able to call upon extended kin for assistance as necessary and counted on them for unswerving loyalty. Godparents (whether or not they were kin) were valuable as well in strengthening social links within the web of kinship. The pace of urbanizationmodest by world and Latin American standardsquickened during the boom years. Economic growth enabled the cities to absorb large numbers of rural Paraguayans who had been displaced by increased population pressures and the nation's skewed land distribution. Economic downturns in the 1980s, stoked unrest among workers and peasants. Albania Maps Andorra Maps Armenia Maps Austria Maps ... mailto:info@mapzones.com?subject=Mail from HomePage

Visual arts of startling unconventionality can be seen in many galleries. Paraguay's pre-eminent literary figure is the poet-novelist Augusto Roa Bastos. Paraguayan music is something of a curiosity - despite the fact that the majority of the population still speaks the native tongue, the music is European in origin, with little or no traces of Black, Brazilian or Argentinian influences. The guitar and harp are popular instruments and songs are usually slow and lachrymose. Dances, such as the polka and bottle dance (so-called because performers swing around with a jar on their head) are, however, much livelier. Agustín Barrios (1885-1944), one of Latin America's most revered composers for the guitar, often performed his music in full Guaraní costume, promoting himself as the Paganini of the guitar from the Paraguayan jungles. Roman Catholicism is officially the country's religion, but the influence of the church is less pronounced than in many other Latin American countries. Other religious groups include fundamentalist Mennonites and the controversial New Tribes Mission, an evangelical group which operated with the collusion of Stroessner's dictatorship. Meat dishes as well as tropical and subtropical foodstuffs play an important role in the Paraguayan diet. Grains, particularly maize, and manioc (cassava) are incorporated into almost all meals. Try tucking into locro, a maize stew, mazamorra, corn mush, mbaipy so-ó, a hot maize pudding with meat chunks, and sooyo sopy, a thick soup made of ground meat and served with rice or noodles. Desserts include mbaipy he-é, a delicious mix of corn, milk and molasses. Tea or mate is consumed in vast quantities while mosto (sugar-cane juice) and caña (cane alcohol) are also frequently imbibed.

Paraguay South America CULTURE Paraguayan culture is a blend chiefly of Guaranian and Spanish elements, supplemented by more recent Argentine, German, and Italian influences. The culture of Paraguay has remained isolated and therefore has retained many features introduced in the 16th and 17th centuries by the Spanish conquerors, artisans, and Jesuit missionaries. The Ateneo Paraguayo, a leading cultural center, sponsors art exhibits, lectures, and concerts, and Guaraní culture is promoted by the Academy of Guaraní Language and Culture, the Indian Association of Paraguay, and the Guaraní Theater.

Throughout the 17th and 18th century, the economic fortunes of Paraguay declined through neglect and the depredations of the widely unpopular encomienda system of land distribution, which was tantamount to slavery for most workers. Troops sent from Buenos Aires, to put down a series of uprising at the turn of the 19th century, were pushed back and, with the Spanish empire throughout the continent now in a state of terminal decline, the Paraguayans realised that independence was theirs for the taking. It was declared in May 1811. Since then, the country has been governed mainly by dictatorships and has endured a number of costly wars against neighboring countries. Of particular importance was the 1865 conflict against Uruguay, Brazil and Argentina, as a result of which Paraguay lost much of its territory and roughly half of its population. Since the 1940s, Paraguay has been under military rule for most of the time, interspersed with periods of crisis and internal conflict. A period of intense instability in the late 1940s and early 1950s was brought to an end in 1954, with a military coup by the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, General Alfredo Stroessner.
