Desfile de Llamadas 2020 - Barrio Sur - Montevideo - Uruguay |
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.

Él es Joan Fernández y se dedica a fabricar tambores para candombe.
Estuve por el Parque Tecnológico Industrial del Cerro (PTI-C), donde tiene su taller, sacando algunas fotitos.
El candombe es una manifestación cultural musical nacida en la ciudad de Montevideo, capital de Uruguay, fruto de la expresión de los negros africanos que llegaron como esclavos. Actualmente trasciende las razas para ser abrazada por muchos uruguayos (raza aparte formada por una mezcla increíble de sangre de un sinfín de países del mundo) que sienten el sonido del tambor y el ritmo de candombe como una manifestación de identidad y de libertad profunda y propia.
Me gustaría destacar que además de en Montevideo, hay mucha descendecia africana en el departamento de Durazno, ya que en ese departamento hubo "quilombos", o sea colonias donde se asentaban y vivían juntos los esclavos que lograban huir de las casas de sus amos.

Some neighbours of El Bajo area in the Old Town get together to practice for the Desfile de Llamadas which is part of the Carnival Parades. Their flag has the green red and white colours of the defunct basketball club Las Bóvedas. The comparsa is all amateur; instruments, costumes etc are paid by the participants, hopefully with the sponsorship of the neighbourhood grocery store or similar businesses. This was a very informal rehearsal: no costumes, and families joining in the fun. The beat is the traditional candombe played by the African slaves in the XIX century.

"This Noche Argentina presents two acts that approach the tango and the tradional music from Argentina in a very personal way. Facundo Torres is a celebrated bandoneon player who earned his stripes on the side of Juan Jose Mosalini, Melingo, Nestor Marconi or Gotan Project. He was also part of Cuarteto Cedron, whose musical and poetic universe inspired him for his work as a soloist with Sombras Criollas. In a society where culture tends more and more to uniformity, "Sombras criollas" tries to pick hidden stories and melodies. Of those stories which Facundo Torres finds in the poetry of Raul Gonzalez Tunon, Engrique Banchs, Ruben Dario or Mario Paoletti, Facundo creates new songs with traditional Latin American rhythms as the milonga, the candombe, the "vals criollo" and the tango that suit his velvet voice almost perfectly.
- Facundo Torres: vocals, guitar, bandoneon and composition
- Javier Estrella: percussion
- Diego Trosman: guitar
- Romain Lecouyer: bass
With her "Tangos From a Dromedary Point of View", La Sieste du Dromadaire explores how tango would sound if played by Musulman, Pygmies, the Rolling Stones or by quadrupeds like dromedaries and underdogs … Because of the unique combination of Argentinean inspired melodies and African percussion, La Sieste du Dromadaire is probably the only tango group in the world that fits better in the desert than in an Argentinean tango bar … Percussion instruments have rarely been used in traditional tango, but the African presence definitely has affected the ’Argentinean tango music’ and has influenced much of its typical sensual swing. La Sieste du Dromadaire brings together two cultures that may seem worlds apart, but which in fact have always been connected! And "what does the dromedary have to do with any of this?" This noble four-legged creature gave to the world, with its footsteps in the sand: the well-known rhythm called the clave. From Africa to the rest of the world - a secret that few people actually know! - but a fact that makes these animals musical heroes!
- Santiago Cimadevilla: bandoneon, xylophone
- Ananta Roosens (compositions): violin, horn-violin, trumpet
- Elliot Muusses: electric guitar
- Joris Vanvinckenroye: double bass
- Robbe Kieckens: African percussion"
