For 20 years, Les Chemins du Baroque (the Paths of the Baroque) have developed a specific programme dedicated to Latin American baroque music and musicians. 'Paraguay Barroco' is the most recent baby. Located in the capital city of Paraguay, Asuncion, this ensemble is conducted by the very young Franco-Paraguayan director Alexandre Chauffaud and composed of a selection of young musicians from all over the country. This album could have been baptized "Paraguay en vivo" as it contains the very best of Paraguay Barroco in concert though the recording was not made live.

Latin America now has a new baroque music ensemble. Paraguay Barroco now has its first album.
