This article illustrates, with particular focus on Rolando Chaparro's rock fusion albumBohemio(2011), the way in which music operates in expressing Paraguayan national, racial and class identity. It first reviews the literature on music and identity generally, as well as more specifically in relation to Paraguay. It then explores expressions of nationalism andparaguayidad(Paraguayanness) in folkloric 'popular' musics (música popular) and the concept ofraza guaraní(a widespread belief in a common ancestry based on Spanish and Guaraní ethnic identity) in the construction, maintenance and expression of identity. Finally, it examines the Agustín Barrios revivals in Paraguay and people's class consciousness as it is expressed in Paraguayan guitar music culture
