Description 
Candombe (can-dome-bey) is a drum-based musical style of Uruguay. Candombe originated over two hundred years ago among the African population in Montevideo and is based on Bantu African drumming with some European influence and touches of Tango.
This rhythm is still going strong in the streets, halls and carnivals of this small enchanting country.

This painting shows the contrast between the future generations of Candombe represented by the kids in the front and the current generation that leaves in the back.

Each of the kids represents one of the typical Candombe figures:

The old men: who is considered like a healer that usually took the medicinal herbs on a little briefcase.

The Broomer: is the juggler of the group, he throws the broom in the air making different movements with it. This figure was very admired and entertaining for the public and the show itself.

The "Tamborilero": the music of Candombe is performed by a group of drummers called a "Tamborilleros". Tamboriles are made of wood with animal skins that are rope-tuned or fire-tuned minutes before the performance. They are worn at the waist with the aid of a shoulder strap called talig or talí and played with one stick and one hand.

The "Mulatas": They are the dancers that perform with their group "comparsa" during the carnaval.
