Barra de Valizas is a small town born on the shores of the sea, home to artisanal fishermen and tourists who love serenity.
You can enjoy it is a quiet influence following the Valicero Trails.
Located between huge dunes and lying on the stream of the same name, it has a marked identity as a simple and warm town, where fishermen and tourists live together.
The interior streets of grass and sand, the simple houses, the taste for homemade food and the tranquility in which one lives, embellish the place even more.
Crossing the stream, you arrive at Cerro de la Buena Vista, a granite formation practically covered by sand.
It is a natural track and pure adrenaline for fans of the sanboard.
During a walk along the coast, in the direction of Cabo Polonio, you can see remains of Don Guillermo, barge of the US Navy, run aground in 1952.
In the summer if you take a holiday, you should visit this place to enjoy and relax.
Hello, everyone, who reads my blog. I am a Thai woman who is living in Uruguay and this article, I would like to show you about Candombe.
This is video of small candombe.
This is the first time for me to see the real Candombe which makes me wonder and would like to know about it. I was searching for information, What Candombe is and why people love to see it.
In Montevideo, the Candombe starts every Summer in February for whole month.
I had been watching it with friends.
It was a lovely time for me. In the candombe, people were smiling and dancing.
Everyone was having fun along friends and family
The Candombe was a big show whice a lot of people were coming so we needed to buy tickets for our seats in advance. The shows held for two days.
If you couldn't find any ticket you still can see the small candombe whice in your neighborhood during February.
I enjoyed seeing people smiling and dancing, that made my feet moving and dancing along.
Candombe is a rhythm from Africa that has been an important part of Uruguayan culture for more than two hundred years.
Uruguay, with a population of approximately 3.2 million inhabitants, is a small country located in South America, whose neighboring countries are Brazil (162 million) to the east and Argentina (34 million) to the west.
This rhythm came to Uruguay from Africa thanks to the black slaves, and still beats in the streets, in the corridors and in the carnivals of this charming little country.
To understand how this rhythm, deeply rooted in Uruguayan culture, evolved, it is necessary to turn the pages of African and South American history to see how this contagious rhythm anchored in the coasts of Montevideo.
The texts that follow are fragments taken from books and articles about candombe, as well as opinions of some characters who have lived it very closely.
.......
Montevideo, capital of Uruguay was founded by the Spaniards in a process begun in 1724 and completed in 1730.
In 1750 the introduction of African slaves began. At the beginning of the 19th century, the population of African origin in Montevideo surely exceeded 50% of the inhabitants.
The origin of this population was not a homogenous Africa, but a multiethnic and culturally very varied Africa. The majority being 71% of the Bantu area, East Africa and Equatorial Africa, while the rest was of non-Bantu origin, from West Africa: Guinea, Senegal, Gambia, Sierra Leone and Costa de Oro (now Ghana).
The Candombe is the survival of the African ancestral Bantu root brought by the blacks who arrived at the Río de la Plata.
The term, is generic for all the dances of blacks: synonym then, of black dance, evocation of the ritual of the race.
His musical spirit reflects the yearnings of the unfortunate slaves, who were suddenly transplanted to South America, to be sold and subjected to hard work.
They were sorrowful souls, keeping incurable nostalgia for the native lot. In colonial times, newly arrived Africans called their drums with the name of tangó.
With this word they also called the place where blacks performed their candomberas dances, which were also called with this term.
With the word Tangó the place was designated, the instrument and by extension the dance of the blacks.

......
In Montevideo, the Uruguay of the Sunday nights, the drums of the South Quarter meet in the light of the fire at an intersection of the historic black neighborhood, in a quiet corner of South America.
The flames dance in the powerful light of a bonfire that is lit to warm the drums. Rows of drummers parade down the street in a confusion of muscle, sweat and sound, filling the night with a rhythm from Africa, known as Candombe.
.....
The corner ritual of the street is part of the forgotten chapter of the African Diaspora.
The drums tell the story of the profound impact that African culture has had in Uruguay and elsewhere in Latin America.
In fact, Afro-Uruguayans celebrate a fragment of history, which is often ignored.
Traveling to Bangkok!! Enjoy your trip with the best city.
It is easy way to travel in Bangkok and just enjoy your time with the best city, where you can travel and see a lot of thing very interesting.
I think it's a very easy place to explore on your own or to meet others as you wish. There plenty of venues where you can sit, lounge and strike up conversations with other like-minded people.
I would say that while Bangkok and Thailand are, relatively speaking, easy places to do on solo basis or to meet others and go as a group-- this should not be seen as a invite to otherwise disregard basic personal safety or good common sense. Unfortunately, there is a small (emphasis on small) sub-set of the population out there might otherwise try to exploit your situation.
However, I do think that if you simply use good common sense and read up on some of the potential pitfalls here on TA, you'd be well covered and informed.

It was a lovely time for walking along the beach by myself in the morning at puntadeldiablo Uruguay
I walked alone on the beach and something happened!!
It was a good time for the opportunity to stay alone by yourself.
I walked along the beach and listen to the sound of waves from the ocean in the morning with good sound.
The water splashes to the body and feet while I walked.
My feet touch and I could feel the coolness of the water and soft beach to relax.
What is the sound inside?s not equal to a small voice The head is louder all the time.
The silence of the beach because no one make noise but the sound in the head was taking all the time.
Could we stop and listen to what does it say? It has many things to say or talk in our head.
When we stop and listen. It's silent no voices.
While we are walking keep listening but every time I realize it and eavesdrop,
it disappears. That's because of the silence, not the flow of mind.
It is under the movement of mind, try to keep silence, not relegated, then we will find calm in the unrest, there is such a thing.
Sometimes we let comparison bring us down, instead of valuing what God has given us. This all leads to the vicious cycle of unhappiness.
“ Learn to be happy with what you have instead of looking at what you don’t have” There will always be someone who will have more or less than you have. A person who is satisfied with what they have is the happiest person in the world.
