Los Guaraguao

**Los Guaraguao** were a Venezuelan folk group that became iconic voices of social justice and grassroots storytelling through music. Formed in the 1970s by brothers Alí and Isaías Agüero, the band blended traditional Venezuelan rhythms like joropo and gaita with politically charged lyrics, earning them a spot in the Nueva Canción movement. Their 1976 anthem *"Las Casas de Cartón"*—a raw critique of poverty and inequality—became a Latin American protest music staple, resonating far beyond their home country.

Known for their earthy harmonies and unflinching themes, Los Guaraguao released albums like *Venezuela Folklore y Esperanza* and *El Sombrero Azul Por Los Derechos Del Hombre*, cementing their role as musical chroniclers of struggle and hope. Even after decades, their music remains a touchstone for its authenticity and heart, with compilations like *Lo Mejor del Ayer* keeping their legacy alive for new generations of listeners.
