Well, when we have the possibility to write anything, always come to my mind what people like to do, then it came the idea to write about music. The music is everywhere, I think that comes from most deepest instincts. Recently I discovered that I like the music that come of the instinct, is for this reason that I like the percusion instruments, I think this is the most basic form to make music, I think that the rhythm is the base of the music, takes us on a trip that conect us with ourselves, instinctively. Is for this reason that I'm interested for a particular sound, the Candombe. The Candombe is the music and dance broght the African people to Uruguay in slavery times. The rhythm is built from three drums: piano drum; chico drum and the repique drum, toghether form the Candombe. This rhythm is accompanied for dancers, they have characters that represent the colonial times.

I'm going a workshop to Candombe where a Uruguayan teacher taught us the differents rhythms of the drums. He told me that in Uruguay have a date where a lot of Comparsas compete to demostrate who is the best. The Comparsas are the group of musicians and dancers that belong from a place.
