National Anthem of Paraguay

Play The National Anthem of Paraguay
Good luck in Copa América 2015

Paraguayos, República o Muerte is the national anthem of Paraguay.
The lyrics were written by Francisco Acuña de Figueroa (who also wrote Orientales, la Patria o la tumba, the national anthem of Uruguay) under the presidency of Carlos Antonio López, who at the time delegated Bernardo Jovellanos and Anastasio González to ask Figueroa to write the anthem (Jovellanos and González were commissioners of the Paraguayan government in Uruguay).
The anthem was officially finished by Figueroa on May 20, 1846.
