Paraguay and its member station Canal 13 Paraguay (Now Red Paraguaya de Comunicación RPC), debuted in the OTI Festival in its seventh edition, which was held in Santiago in 1978. The first Paraguayan representative in the contest was the veteran Rolando Percy, who got a disappointing 18th place with zero points. The same singer would return to the event in 1990 and 1995 with disappointing placings.[1]

Since their debut, the Guarani country participated almost uninterruptedly except in 1982, their only withdrawal from the contest.
