Thousands of people crowd the capital's Barrio Sur as costumed drummers and dancers kick off the street fiesta known as Llamadas which has traditional Afro-Uruguayan roots. The fiesta, also known in Spanish as "the Calls", started during the colonial period as a slave parade on the city streets. [Photo/Agencies]
