|genre_desc=A slow, melancholic musical genre developed in Paraguay in the 1920s by musician [[TITAF-P-1001185|José Asunción Flores]]. It blends elements of traditional Paraguayan folk music with romantic, lyrical melodies and expressive rhythms, often reflecting themes of love, nostalgia, and national identity. Guaranias are typically written in 6/8 or 3/4 time, slower than most regional styles, and are commonly performed with Paraguayan harp, guitar, and vocals, emphasizing emotional depth.

The genre is uniquely Paraguayan and is also known locally as guarania paraguaya to distinguish it from faster styles like the polca paraguaya. Despite this, it is almost always referred to simply as guarania both in Paraguay and internationally.

Well-known examples include India, [[Gallito Cantor]], and [[Recuerdos de Ypacaraí]].
