The Paraguayan polka is a very popular genre. The main difference between the Paraguayan polka and the European polka is that the Paraguayan polka combines ternary and binary rhythms, where as the European only uses binary. However, the most famous style of music is the Guarania, created by the Paraguayan musician José Asunción Flores in 1925. The Guarania was created in order to communicate and express the character of the Paraguayan people more than the way the Paraguayan polka did. The Guarania accomplishes this by using a combination of slow rhythms and melodies of melancholia character. Other popular genres of traditional music in Paraguay are the zarzuela and the "Paraguayan Songs", which are derived from the Paraguayan polka.
