“Las Llamadas” Parade in Uruguay

A “candombe” dancer dressed as “Mama Vieja” or The Grandmother, prepares for the “Las Llamadas” parade during Carnival celebrations in Montevideo, Uruguay, Friday, February 6, 2015. Las Llamadas, or “The Calls” is a drum-call parade with pounding Afro-Uruguayan rhythmic music known as Candombe, and features three types of drums: el chico, repique and piano. Its roots can be traced to colonial times in Uruguay when African slaves were brought to South America. (Photo by Matilde Campodonico/AP Photo)
