Soon the voice of the presenter invited each guest to take their seats and in a few minutes, he started the show by the hand of Candombe, which is the most significant and effective demonstration of the Afro-Montevideo. To the rhythm of the drums began to appear different characters: the Mama Vieja, the Gramillero, the Escobero and a large group of dancers of both sexes began to vibrate the audience. It was a short presentation, but promised to return for closing the show.

Throughout the night many surprises await those who come to this important endeavor designed to tourism. Note that this shocking spectacle brings together over 35 artists on stage, singers, musicians, dancers and typical characters.

Then it came time to tango and milonga. A real live orchestra was felt and the breath of the bandoneon rhythm and the dancers took a clean sweep of the River Plate feeling the track to show their skills. Different shapes, cuts and broken take over the scene and everything end with a big applause and emotion. Subsequently, a singer performs a show singing the most famous tangos and milongas. Gardel and other great authors seem to come alive within the walls of the Milongón. We see smiles of happiness on the faces of every visitor. A passion for tango moves the spirit of the present and everything is a mixture of melancholy and joy.

For dessert it was his turn to folklore charrúa. Two men and two women began to show their skills jackets. Zapateo, malambo with bolas and dances with fire daggers were part of this important moment of the night. A large pausing synchrony between movements and left us speechless. The Gauchos of Rio de la Plata enjoy their moment in the show and know enthusiastically convey to the audience.

Finally, he returned candombe. Now with mulatto dancers and the conspicuous presence of the banner, the pair of ambassadors and the Queen, of course. Everything became an intimate carnival. The people there present was invited to participate and everyone dancing and enjoying culminated by being in Uruguay. Actually, the show is unforgettable.
