Record digging tips for Asunción
A few things worth knowing before you work through Asunción's record stores:
- Sleeves matter for value at La Música También es Cultura. Original inner sleeves, inserts, posters — completeness counts. A bare record in a generic sleeve is worth less.
- Ask the staff what's new at The song. Shop staff know what's just come in and what's about to. One question can save an hour of digging.
- Buy the weird stuff. Private pressings, local bands, oddball compilations — the strange records are the ones that appreciate.
- Learn to spot reissues. Reissues are cheaper and often sound great. Originals cost more for the history. Know which you're paying for.
Good to know
We searched about 30 km around Asunción — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new record store in Asunción can take a while to appear. The 5 above are only as current as the community map. A record store that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.
We don't list prices or stock — both change by the day. What we list is the where: real shops, verified by real mappers.
If you run one of the 5 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
