Oscar Nelson Safuán was Paraguayan composer, creator of ''Avanzada'', a folk music style which had its origin in the fusion of the Paraguayan polka and the Guarania, with influences of the Brazilian popular music, such as the bossa nova and the balade. ==Childhood and Youth== He was born on September 21, 1943 in San Estanislao, Paraguay, known as ''Santani''. His father, Sado Safuán was of Lebanese origin. He spent his childhood with his family in his hometown. Like all the country children, his childhood was full of games such as ''hondita'' and fishing days of ''tare’yi'' in the blue waters of Tapirakuai. He also used to participate in the rodeos, ride horses, trompo contests and kite flying, at his father's ranch "Paso Naranja". Between football matches and balls, he discovered one day that, besides all of these activities which occupied his time, there was something else that would fill his days totally: music. First it was the little organ, then the guitar and soon he found himself forming the first trio. After that many nights of serenades, radio programs in Asunción, the capital of the country, and a goal to pursue: get to Brazil with his loving music. This goal was to be growing while Safuán was at the military service, which was obligatory, in Santani. His first trio had the name of "Los hijos del Paraguay", meaning The Children of Paraguay, a name that was to be strongly criticized by his father who said at his first presentation: "How can you say that, Paraguayan Children, and not Arab children? You are a son of a Lebanese and must be proud of it…" The reason of his anger was because Mr Sado Safuán didn't want any of his children to be ashamed of their origins. For several days, Oscar tried to explain to his father the true meaning of the name chosen for the trio, but the explanation didn't succeed to convince Mr Sado. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oscar Safuan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
