Montevideo, Uruguay. On Sunday nights, the drummers of Barrio Sur assemble by firelight at an intersection in the historic black neighbourhood. Flames dance in a gutter bonfire lit to warm the hides of the drums. Rows of drummers pound down the street in a blur of muscle, sweat and sound, filling the night with a rhythm known as candombe. The latter is a rhythm that has been an important part of Uruguayan culture for two hundred years.
