History goes that during the days of the Spanish colony, many African men and women were brought to America as slaves in order to fulfill tasks at the houses of the most remarkable families in Montevideo.
When slavery was finally abolished, these Uruguayan citizens began to form new groups and thus they gave shape to the neighborhoods popularly referred to as "Negro neighborhoods"...
Candombe was the rhythm that not only joined them together but also reminded them of their African past and held them close to their origins, to their history.

A candombe cuerda marches in the Barrio Sur neighborhood. These are the same kinds of drums that Uruguayan fans have been playing in the stadiums of South Africa to cheer on the Uruguayan side during World Cup 2010 matches.
Since the candombe drum owes its origins to the traditions of the Bantu peoples of Africa who were brought to Uruguay as slaves, the Uruguayan cheering section for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa has gone full circle by bringing the Afro-Uruguayan creation back to its continent of origin.

Durante el gobierno de Juan Manuel de Rosas el candombe tuvo su momento de mayor difusión, junto con el reconocimiento de la población afrodescendiente como parte integrante y vital de la sociedad rioplatense y de la identidad federal.
El candombe fue incorporado a las “fiestas mayas”, es decir durante los festejos de las fechas patrias, generando el fuerte repudio de las élites porteñas. En estos bailes, era frecuente la participación directa del gobernador y su familia en un gesto de cercanía hacia las comunidades de afrodescendientes, que mostraban su apoyo y lealtad entonando coplas en homenaje a Rosas.
En el óleo se destaca el predominio del rojo en la vestimenta, así como el uso de la divisa punzó por parte de la población afroamericana. Hacia la izquierda, aparece la figura de Rosas sentado junto a un afroamericano, y está acompañado por Encarnación Ezcurra, su esposa, y su hija Manuelita.
