		Joaquin Torres Garcia in the Art Museum of the Americas -Joaquin Torres Garcia in the Art Museum of the Americas -A Joaquin Torres Garcia was a pioneer of modernism, Torres-Garcia was born in Montevideo in 1874 of a Catalan father and Uruguayan mother.
		When we keep in perspective that Uruguay is smaller in size than Washington State and has a population of less than 4 million it becomes all the more astounding that this tiny nation (second smallest country on the continent) should have such a rich and pronounced artistic heritage.

	How's Uruguay's music like?
		Candombe music can be easily found and enjoyed during Uruguay's carnival season, when "comparsas", consisting on a large group of people with drums, walk while playing their music accompanied by others who dance following the rhythm of the candombe.
		During carnival season, Uruguay becomes full of spots called "tablados" which are temporary theaters spread in the main cities, and where murgas, parodists and other groups in the same style perform their artistic expression, their music and acting activities in front of important amounts of spectators.
		Music is very important in Uruguay and musicians who play the rhythms of their country transmit a part of the heart of Uruguay's traditions and culture through this art expression.

		In the late 1960s musical influences outside of Brazil like Rock were having their influence upon Brazilian music and musicians, who, while remaining faithful to Brazilian rhythms and styles, were happy to experiment with new styles and instrumentation.
		The music has spread throughout Brazil as workers escaping the droughts and poverty of the North have migrated to jobs in the South.
		In the mean time, back on the island, Cuban music has continued to evolve on its own with a new generation of musicians who also continued to absorb musical influences from the outside world.

		Music Therapy appeared in Uruguay at the late 1960s - almost by the same time as it appeared in Brazil and Argentina - thanks to the enormous interest and vocation of a teacher who worked with disabled children, Ms.
		She is part of the staff of interdisciplinary teams and also holds on an important task in diffusion and training through seminars and workshops and through a weekly radio program in a local broadcasting.
		Uruguay is actually "trapped" in the fact of having more than 30 years or history around Music Therapy in a country where there is not a training program, where the discipline is not very well known, and where there are just a few professionals working who graduated from PEMU.

	Print news - IPS Inter Press Service
		The passion for classical music and theatre in Uruguay, a small South American country of 3.2 million, has been strong since 1856, when the impoverished newly independent nation, in poor shape after years of war, nevertheless decided to build what was at the time South America's premier opera house: the Solís Theatre.
		The inauguration of the Solís put Uruguay in the vanguard of the international opera scene starting in the late 19th century, and its opera seasons could be counted among the world's best, said journalist and music critic Barret Puig, who writes for the weekly newspaper Búsqueda.
		Classical music concerts began to be held in places with even more unsuitable acoustics, like meeting rooms in hotels, public parks or the installations of the Technological Laboratory of Uruguay.

	CDeMUSIC
		Candombe permeates many aspects of Uruguayan music, as in the music on this CD in a somewhat pop vein.
		But it's not just the music, it's also that the spirit behind the music is complex and forceful, as Aharonian hints in the liner notes.
		Her chamber music is melodic, yet complex, with wonderful timbral and textural combinations.

		To outsiders, Uruguayan music is synonymous with candombe, a percussion-based form that orginated in Montevideo as a mixture of European, Bantu African and native forms, as well as Argentinian Tango (which was also developed in Uruguay, but is more often considered Argentinian).
		Candombe had evolved by the beginning of the 19th century and was immediately seen as a threat to the elites, who sought to ban the music and its dance in 1808.

	Interview with Swami Anand Milarepa, Director of the Osho Institute of Music and Celebration
		And he said, yes: He wanted music for the discourses - Indian in the morning and Western in the evening - and that I should coordinate both.
		For instance, the music from Yes To The River happened during the period when Osho moved the discourses from Chuang Tzu Auditorium to the newly-constructed Buddha Hall.
		For me, taking care of the music around Osho has always been about allowing things to expand and flow, so that the music always reflects his vision and the things we are learning by being with him.

		Their music, an absolutely wild and raw mixture of hyper electric drug-induced progressive blues with social -concerned lyrics, was influenced by Cream, Led Zeppelin and Cactus.
		At the beginning of 1964, when the Beatles wave arrived in Uruguay, the four musicians decided to model their instruments, gears and hairstyles accordingly and formed a band that would constitute an absolute exception of quality in the local panorama of that time.
		The musical quality was not as good as before and one particular single "Marilu" b/w "Si lo supiera mama " (both sung in Spanish) was highly related to the Uruguayan carnival (Mardi Gras) repertoire, that little had to do with their previous production.

	World Music Uruguay - Uruguayan Music
		Uruguayan multi-instrumentalist, composer, and singer Hugo Fattoruso is perhaps best known to North American audiences as a member of Brazilian singer Milton Nascimento's band.
		But Fattoruso has been working for decades on intriguing fusions of jazz, Anglo pop, and Uruguayan music styles such as candombe (a drum-heavy African-rooted style) and murga (carnival music).
		His records with the Uruguayan trio Opa, recorded and released in the United States in the '70s and reissued in the '90s, are still fascinating, rich with possibilities.
