Travel South America | South from Texas: Ep. 2 – The Drums of “Candombe” (Montevideo)

In this episode, we find ourselves in the South American capital city of Montevideo, where any weekend night can become a roving neighborhood block party with the drummers of “Candombe.” This is Uruguay’s own unique rhythmic tradition that dates back to the abolition of slavery in this small Latin American country.

    @gusro12 My experience in Uruguay went far, far beyond the word “enjoy.” I will definitely return there – many times hopefully. And I describe Montevideo in particular as, “the biggest small town in South America.” I love that city.
