520 _aCandombe is a rhythm, a dance and a parade, a practice invented by black slaves and taken up by their descendants in Montevideo. Earlier, Candombe was the only form of visibility of the Afro-Uruguayan minority but several processes, both institutional and popular, transform it today into a new reality. Different forms of wall art linked with Candombe emerged at the end of the 1990s (wall paintings, graffitis, and stencils) and we consider them as a means of exploration of the social and cultural place of the black community; this is a dynamic and complex issue. On the walls, the heterogeneous representation of Candombe culture, both legitimate and transgressive, maintains and transcends its ethnic origins. Walls are the space where a community shows both its struggle for recognition and its popular culture, belonging to everybody, what is today a specific feature of Montevideo.
