Sumario:Based on the Purahéi Trio's version of the polka-song "Lucerito Alba" (Eladio Martínez), released in the album Paraguay Purahéi (2014), this paper addresses and discusses the relationship between modernization of popular music and socioeconomic modernization. The immanent critique of the song unfolds a historical-sociological commentary on the development of popular music in Paraguay, aiming to highlight the tension between the emergence of modern historical temporality and the efforts to contain its transformative force. The conclusions points to the exhaustion of the dynamic established between musical modernization and socioeconomic modernization throughout the 20th century.
