Murga Montevideo
Murga is a set of traditional theater arts from Uruquayan carnival. (See Murga entry in Wikipedia. These videos show murga performances from the New Year's celebration of 2006. Carnival takes place during Feb/Mar.
Murga is also associated with candombe. Some tango dancers and musicians have explored the incorporation of murga and candombe into tango dance performance. Examples are Luis Bruni, Pascale Coquigny and Juan Carlos Caceres (see Tango Noticias (USA) [Luis Bruni y Pascale Coquigny]) and Eduardo Cappussi and Mariana Flores (see Cappussi Flores ::Tango ::).
