	Candombe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Candombé originated among the Afro-Uruguayan population of Montevideo and is based on Bantu African drumming with some European influence and touches of Tango.

		Candombé is related to other musical forms of African origin found in the Americas such as Cuban son and tumba and Brazilian maracatu.

	El toque de Candombe / Intro
		The Candombe was a prime force in the creation of other musical styles in the region, like the Tango and the Milonga, and its influence is apparent in all the music of the River Plate area, especially so in the Murga, of Spanish origin.
		The Candombe musically identifies Uruguay as the Samba does Brazil; as the Rumba, Cha Cha Cha and Son identify Cuba; the Bomba and the Plena, Puerto Rico; and the Merengue the Dominican Republic.
		Candombe today is regarded as the traditional rhythm of the Afro-Uruguayan culture and is a live musical style which is developing and extending its influence at an increasingly rapid pace.

	A World in Two Cities
		The word ‘candombe’ (not to be confused with Brazilian camdomblé) has had various different but related meanings throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.
		In the 1950s, when the tango candombe trend was in decline, a third candombe type emerged in the repertory of dance bands strongly influenced by commercial Afro-Cuban dance music, such as those led by Amando Oréfice (the Lecuona, later Havana, Cunam Boy), Dámaso Pérez Prado and Xavier Cugat.
		From the mid-1960s to the early 70s the candombe evolved further with the development of a fusion between the candombe of the conjuntos lubdos and of the ‘tropical’ dance bands with influences deriving from principally from jazz, but also from rock, Brazilian bossa nova and even Indian tabla drums as popularized by the Beatles.

		The percussive rhythms of CANDOMBE are powerful and compelling, and the satisfying complexity doesn't stop with drums, but is enhanced by numerous vocalists and a large 'big band' feel produced by the interactions of many musicians.
		Candombe takes you through the streets of Montevideo along with the parading drummers and the crowd of singers sharing their hearts through the music.
		With a team of ten drummers and a chorus of ten singers, it's easy to be carried along by the sound to a faraway land where life, music and beauty have a close relationship.
