Ernest Williams Candombe in Montevideo

Tanguero Ernest Williams of Tango Life Inc. (www.tangolifeinc.com) (as Green Gramillero)and friend tanguera Linda Sutton (as Yellow Mama Vieja)dances candombe with the comparsa "La Gozadera" of the neighborhood Malvin in Montevideo, Uruguay. Mini LLamadas May 2005

They enjoy the rare (if not unprecedented)opportunity for Americans to dance candombe as an integral part of a famous comparsa. This served as part of the ongoing research of the African roots of tango that Ernest continued to develop and promote. He gives multimedia presentations on this subject to dancers of all types and in academic circles around the world. Contact him to book his presentation and related dance workshops.

bello!!! es hora que rescatemos el verdadero origen de nuestros ritmos populares y folklóricos: zamba, bombo, malambo, la payada -hermana del repente brasilero y también el maravilloso ritmo de la chacarera. Es hora de reconocerles el enorme aporte cultural que nos legaron esos, ahora, "casi invisibles" negros. Bravo por este trabajo!! esperamos más.
