Check out: The Tempranos - Boss Reggae from Paraguay!

One of the bands I've been listening for a while, straight from Paraguay.. Latin goes Early Reggae.. enjoy.

In December 2008, after a year exchanging opinions about the reggae scene in Paraguay, and trying to give people a chance to know about old school jamaican music, The Tempranos is formed. Playing skinhead reggae, rocksteady, and also experimenting with 60..s jamaican ska, The Tempranos starts to give people a new concept of reggae music. In the summer of 2009 we organize two gigs in Asunción. One with Dj Vison from The Crabs Corporation and another with Juan Sound from Ciudad del Este and Cae Selector from Brasil. These two shows are a real party, with a lot of dancing before, during, and after the concert. The band started by covering jamaican reggae and rocksteady classics such as Alton's "Gonna take a miracle", Holt..s "I see your face". Dekker's "Shanty Town" and much much more. But since April 2009, we started writing our own songs to be presented in an EP now in May, the same songs presented here in Myspace. Actually, the band also plays traditional ska, and has two original instrumentals that are usually played live, but are still not recorded. The band is formed by Diego Ryghin (guitar), Paulo González (keyboards), Paco "Al Pacone" (bass), and Walter Rodriguez (drums). Hugo Falcón and Gabriel Orue complete the line up both playing sax, and Gustavo Pedersen colaboration can be heard on the trombone.
