talking one week ago with panta about carnivals, I told her that from the carnivals around here I would love to presence the uruguayan and the jujuy or bolivian ones some day!

Here´s a sample of uruguayan murgas. I saw two of these murgas in my city. They inspired also some rosarine ones, as for example "Caídos del puente". I must be great to be in Montevideo in times of the llamada! :D Enjoy!!!!!!!

the music is much softer and more meoldic than the wild and rhythmic tunes are around here.
but the spirit of the stage shows seems to be similar!

thanks a lot for sharing, arcadia.

I enjoyed the singing immensely
did not understand a word of it
I lov'd those costumes

Sometimes I think north america is a cultural desert
except for the parched Spanish south west.
