ECONOMIA

El bienestar de la economía uruguaya proviene de un sector agrícola orientado a la exportación, mano de obra instruida, y altos niveles de gasto social.

Después de crecer a un promedio anual del 5% entre 1996-98, en 1999-2002 la economía sufrió un descenso importante, proviniendo en gran parte de los problemas económicos de sus grandes vecinos, Argentina y Brasil.

ECONOMY

Uruguay’s stable economy is characterized by an export-oriented agricultural sector, a well-educated workforce, and high levels of social spending. After averaging growth of 5% annually during 1996-98, in 1999-2002 the economy suffered a major downturn, stemming largely from the spillover effects of the economic problems of its large neighbors, Argentina and Brazil.

Cooperation with the IMF has limited the damage. The debt swap with private creditors substantially alleviated the country’s amortization burden in the coming years DQG UHVWRUHG SXEOLF FRQ÷GHQFH

La economía está creciendo actualmente a un ritmo acelerado como resultado de la alta cotización de los productos uruguayos de exportación, de la debilidad del dólar contra el euro, del crecimiento en la región, de las bajas tasas internacionales de interés y de una mayor competitividad para exportar.

The economy is currently growing at a fast pace as a result of high commodity prices for Uruguayan exports, the weakness of the dollar against the euro, growth in the region, low international interest rates, and greater export competitiveness.

Pueblos europeos y africanos aportaron su característica diversidad de contenidos, donde se destacan dos: la Murga y el Candombe.

MURGA URUGUAYA

La Murga, con sus raíces en el genero chico español, es la expresión mas pícara y transgresora de estas festividades y tiene su escenario barrial que es el Tablado.

En Uruguay, es el género coral-teatralmusical interpretado en Carnaval por un coro de entre 13 y 17 personas con el acompañamiento musical de bombo, platillos y redoblante.

Al conjunto que lo práctica, también se le denomina Murga.

Los temas de sus canciones tienen que ver con los principales hechos ocurridos en el año, fundamentalmente políticos y sociales.

It is one of the most popular celebrations of Montevideo. It begins in 18 de Julio Avenue during February, and continues at several places: the Tablados, the LPSRVVLEOH WR PLVV 3DUDGH RI &DOOV 'HV÷OH de Llamadas) and the Competition of Carnival Groupings at the Summer Theatre (Teatro de Verano).

European and African peoples contributed with their diversity of contents, but two of them stand out: the Murga and the Candombe.

URUGUAYAN MURGA

The Murga, with its roots in the minor Spanish music styles, is the funniest and most transgressor expression of these celebrations and has its night scene in every neighborhood, known as the Tablado.

Is a form of popular musical theatre performed in Uruguay during the Carnival season by a chorus of 13 to 17 people, accompanied by bass drums, cymbals, and snare drums.

The performing groups are also called Murgas.

Their songs are mainly centered on political and social happenings of the past year.

EL CANDOMBE El Candombe es un ritmo de percusiĂłn afro-uruguayo que es Ăşnico en el mundo.

MĂĄs de dos siglos atrĂĄs, llegaban en calidad de esclavos los ancestros de la actual comunidad negra uruguaya. Fueron ellos quienes crearon el candombe, ese ritmo afro-uruguayo a base de percusiĂłn, de una sensualidad cautivante.

Desde entonces, el candombe ha penetrado en toda la clase social uruguaya y es, junto al mate, una de las caracterĂ­sticas de los uruguayos.

Tango

Tango, danza y canción es un producto de la cultura popular urbana del Río de la Plata. En los puertos de Montevideo y Buenos Aires convergieron la milonga, el tango andaluz, la habanera y el candombe.

El tango más representativo es La Cumparsita, creación de un montevideano, y el cantor más emblemático, Carlos Gardel, nació en Tacuarembó, Uruguay.

Aunque otras versiones indican que nació en Toulouse, Francia.

Tango, dance and song, is a product of the urban popular culture of the Río de la Plata. In the ports of Montevideo and Buenos Aires converged the milonga, the Andalusian tango, the Havanan and the african candombe.

The most famous tango, La Cumparsita, is the creation of a Montevidean, and the most emblematic singer, Carlos Gardel, has been born in Uruguay. Even though another version indicates he was born in Toulouse, France.

En la última década del siglo 19, existieron en Montevideo diversos sitios de baile, donde se danzaban los milongones (un tango mas primigenio), lugares a los que se denominada “Academias”, estando en su mayoría ubicadas en la Ciudad Vieja. Las más recordadas Academias estaban alrededor del Mercado del Puerto y de la Plaza Cagancha.

In the last decade of the 19th century, there were several places in Montevideo, in where the milongones (an older and simple version of tango) where danced.

These places were called “Academies”, and most of them were located in the Old City.

En setiembre de 2009 la UNESCO declaró al tango como Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad.

The legends says that the mate was born in the forests between the Amazon River and the Parana River, when the indians tupĂ­guaranĂ­es used a wild shrub to calm the fever, to wash wounds, to alleviate the severe sun burns and to improve humor.

They named it kaa-guazĂş, meaning great grass. Many years later, the gauchos of our lands adopted it like their traditional drink, and undoubtedly Uruguay is the biggest consumer of mate in the world.

Keep the straw clear After shaking the mate cup the thinnest Yerba mate stays on top and the thick parts stay at the bottom. That avoids the metal straw from getting obstruted.

The mate kit consists of a pumpkin (special container), a metal straw, a thermos with hot water and mate, its main ingredient which comes from dried and grated leaves of a plant called Yerba Mate.

The mate is a good reason for Uruguayans to get together just for a chat or comradeship. The soft noises at the end of each mate (more than three is bad education), are a signal to pass it back to the mate maker, who is generally the host.

Torres, without the use of construction plans, envisioned and created the head of the eagle that in spite of erosion still maintains its original form. It is open to public all year round.
