Paraguay From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The Republic of Paraguay is a landlocked republic in South America . Lying on both banks of the Paraguay River , it borders Argentina to the south and southwest, Brazil to the northeast and Bolivia to the northwest. The name "Paraguay" is derived from the Guarani words "par¡" , meaning "ocean", "gua" meaning to or from and "y" meaning "water"; in other words "water that goes to the ocean".

Annonces :: ROUTARD MAG Plus d'infos sur la destination Paraguay Livres de route Paraguay Culture Musique Un des piliers de la richesse culturelle du Paraguay est sa musique folklorique. Les instruments principaux sont la guitare et encore plus la harpe. On peut même dire que la harpe est au Paraguay ce que le tango est à l’Argentine. Elle est l’instrument national. Cette harpe est une version altérée de la harpe classique qui a été introduite au Paraguay par les jésuites missionnaires au cours du XVI e  siècle. Cet instrument a tout de suite séduit les indigènes. Similaire en apparence à la harpe européenne, cette harpe diatonique, à cinq octaves et trente-six cordes, ne possède pas de pédale à pied. On peut également trouver des harpes à soixante-quatorze cordes agencées sur deux rangs. Faite de cèdre ou de pin, elle est plus légère que la plupart des harpes et sa boîte à résonance est plus large à la base que celle des autres harpes. Les interprètes et compositeurs les plus renommés sont José Asunción Flores (compositeur de l’hymne national) et Félix Pérez Cardozo (qui popularisa la musique paraguayenne dans les années 1940-1950).

48. Travel In Asuncion - Paraguay - Culture - WorldTravelGate.net®- WorldTravelGate.net®Information about travel inAsuncion,paraguay,Accommodation,Hotels,Restaurants,Car Rentals,,Travel Agencies.! http://www.americatravelling.net/paraguay/asuncion/asuncion_culture.htm

Asuncion - Culture Asuncion, the capital and largest city, is built on unassuming hills above the east bank of the Rio Paraguay. Most of the city's key sights are found within an area bound by the riverfront, Avenida Colon in the west, calles Haedo and Luis A Herrera in the south, and Estados Unidos to the east. There are few colonial remains and little attempt at zoning, so the city has become a jumble of new, eclectic buildings and squatter settlements along the riverfront and the railway. Asuncion has many beautiful large parks and flowering trees. Adjacent to the river, the buildings are colonial in style - one story with a patio - but the centre of town consists of modern high-rise buildings. The cathedral, presidential palace, and Pantheon of Heroes (a smaller replica of the Invalides in Paris), all built in the 19th century, and the ultramodern Hotel Guarani, designed by the Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, are among the notable buildings. As the seat of the national government, and of the archbishop of Paraguay, Asuncion dominates social, cultural, and economic trends in Paraguay. Several institutions of higher education, including the Universidad Nacional de Asuncion (1890) and the Universidad Catolica "Nuestra Senora de la Asuncion" (1960), are located in Asuncion. Asuncion is the principal distributing and export centre of the most densely populated region of Paraguay. Cotton, sugarcane, corn (maize), tobacco, fruit, and cattle products from the rich agricultural and pastoral hinterland are processed in the capital. Industrial plants produce textiles, vegetable oils, footwear, flour, small river craft, and tobacco products. A piped water system was inaugurated in 1955. River steamers, mostly of foreign ownership, are the principal means of transporting freight. The city is also the terminus of the Ferrocarril (railway) Presidente Carlos Antonio Lopez, which connects with the Argentine rail systems via a train ferry across the Parana River at Encarnacion. Another ferry connection across the Paraguay River provides trunk-road communication with Buenos Aires. Asuncion also has an international airport. Pop. (1982 prelim.) 455,517.
