Desfile de Llamadas 2020 - Barrio Sur - Montevideo - Uruguay

History goes that during the days of the Spanish colony, many African men and women were brought to America as slaves in order to fulfill tasks at the houses of the most remarkable families in Montevideo.

When slavery was finally abolished, these Uruguayan citizens began to form new groups and thus they gave shape to the neighborhoods popularly referred to as "Negro neighborhoods"...

Candombe was the rhythm that not only joined them together but also reminded them of their African past and held them close to their origins, to their history.

El desfile de Llamadas contó este año con más de 50 agrupaciones, conformando una de las fiestas populares más grandes del Uruguay. Esta edición lleva el nombre de Julio "Kanela" Sosa, en homenaje al emblemático artista del carnaval uruguayo fallecido en diciembre pasado.
