Description
Uruguayans participate in Montevideo's famous llamadas, an annual parade hailed as a celebration of African heritage and the highlight of the capital's carnival. Las Llamadas translates as "The Calls," from the ancient practice of beating drums to "call" the community together. After last year's edition was cancelled due to Covid-19, carnival goers had to wait an extra week as the municipality had decided to postpone the event because of rain and thunderstorms.
