The Spanish settlers who founded Montevideo in the 18th century and the other European immigrants who have populated our territory since then, brought much more than personal items in their luggage: they brought their fashion, beliefs and customs; among them to celebrate their old carnival.
African origins
The African ancestors who arrived in this territory as a result of the brutal slave trade starting in the 18th century brought rhythms and languages that, over time, were incorporated into the country’s social customs and carnival festivities, reinterpreting their original meanings.
