After playing for almost two decades under a different name, this tropical and mainly Cumbia-oriented outfit made

their international debut in 1997 with the release of Lo Bueno Lo Traigo Yo, adopting the name of Los Yaguaru,

                                                         

based on a Paraguayan aboriginal word that means otter. Their breakthrough came during a live performance in

Pueblo while participating in one of the largest parties ever made, along with more than 100 Latin bands. In 2002,

Lideres released a compilation of their greatest hits, called Lo Mejor de los Yaguaru, Vol. 1.
