THis is a text introducing a show by a Uruguayan painter from the 20 (Figari):
El programa pictórico de Figari se centró entonces en la evocación de lo que llamó “la leyenda del Río de la Plata”: una pintura memoriosa y fantástica a la vez, que recrea en épocas coloniales los patios y saraos de las clases patricias, las danzas criollas de los gauchos y las chinas, los candombes “pura uva” de los negros esclavos y libertos.

Candombe
Candombe is an Uruguayan music and dance style originating with African slaves. It is considered an important aspect of the culture of Uruguay and was recognized by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage of humanity. To a lesser extent, Candombe is practiced in Argentina and Brazil. In Argentina, it can be found in Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, Paraná, Salta and Corrientes. In Brazil, it still retains its religious character and can be found in Minas Gerais State. This Uruguayan music style is based on three different drums: chico, repique and piano drums. This music style is usually played in February during carnival in Montevideo, Uruguay at dance parades called "Llamadas" and "Desfile Innaugural del Carnaval".
