"Candombe" was first introduced by slaves, and it has gone through several modifications up to the version it has become today.
Instruments were part of these changes. When we first arrived, nature kept us from maintaining our tradition of hollowing trunks, but thanks to the copper craft we've been able to work around it.
Due to the amount of vineyards in Montevideo, we were able to turn barrels into drums. The African sound was the only thing we inherited through the centuries, as we couldn't maintain the language and the religion nor the dialect. “It is a great honor for me because I feel like I am not only contributing to our culture but I'm also maintaining the only inheritance from the African tribe," said Fernando "lobo" Nuñez, musician and drum builder.
During the "Llamadas", meaning street parades, the comparsas (performers) and lubolos (people painted with black and white face paint) walk and dance. The names of the comparsas refer to African countries like Senegal, Uganda, Nigeria, among others.
Members of the drum section wear "alpargatas" or shows resembling sandals worn by slaves, and long black stockings meant to imitate the skin of black people. The stockings have white ribbons around the calves to symbolize lashes the slaves received.
 Candombe is an Uruguayan music and dance that comes from African slaves. It is considered an important aspect of the culture of Uruguay and was recognized by UNESCO on the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage. This Uruguayan music style is based on three different drums: chico, repique and piano drums. Carnival in Uruguay is recognized as the longest in the world lasting approximately 35 days.
