Candombe 

Candombe is the Afro-Uruguayan culture of wooden drums that look like big bongos. It consists mainly of three drums. The Piano, Chico and Repique.

The art is often accompanied by dancers who dress in glittery g-strings and feathers and can be most commonly found during the Uruguayan Carnaval in the "Llamadas".
