"Candombe can be traced back about 200 years. It blends African culture with Uruguayan folk customs. This is no doubt a unique type of music from Montevideo, Uruguay. Arguably it has influenced all the local Uruguayan pop music."

Storyline


Uruguay's annual carnival kicked off in Montevideo in the early hours of Friday.

Over 50,000 performers dressed in festive costumes and wearing make-ups ignited the Uruguayan capital's night with music and dance, as spectators flanking the streets cheered along.

Dozens of groups put up various styles of performances on the inaugural parade, marking the beginning of a carnival season of more than 40 days.

The opening parade ended with Uruguay's very own Candombe drum performance. Candombe was listed by the United Nations Educations, Scientific and Cultural Organization as a World Intangible Cultural Heritage.

"Candombe can be traced back about 200 years. It blends African culture with Uruguayan folk customs. This is no doubt a unique type of music from Montevideo, Uruguay. Arguably it has influenced all the local Uruguayan pop music," said Juan, a Uruguayan historian on the history of carnival.

Lasting until March, Uruguay claims the most prolonged carnival in the world. Parades, music and dance performances, as well as theatrical skits would be put up everywhere in the country throughout the festival.

"We come to the carnival every year. The reason I like it is because this is a traditional festival of Uruguay and it is an occasion for family reunion. We can watch performances from our neighboring communities," said Camilo, a local resident.
