The book 'El Candombe' by Rubén Carámbula explores in depth the candombe, an Afro-Rioplatense cultural manifestation of great importance in Uruguay. Despite its relevance, the candombe has been little studied, and this book seeks to fill that gap. Carámbula analyzes the historical process of the candombe, the organizational forms that ensured its permanence, the characters and their clothing, and the musical instruments used. In addition, he describes in detail the choreography of the candombe and offers scores and negrista poems to recreate the experience. The book includes a broad vocabulary and complementary essays.
