Résumé anglais Candombe is a form of cultural expression considered by the Afro-Uruguayan community as their intangible cultural heritage inherited from their African ancestors, who were brought to Uruguay in slavery. The importance of this artistic expression to the history and culture of the Uruguayan nation lead to its declaration as national cultural heritage as well as inclusion by UNESCO on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. In recent decades the art and practice of candombe has expanded and acquired new dimensions, leading to modification, appropriation, and valorization. This article explores the different transformations experienced by candombe due to being widely conceived as a cultural product of consumption. It also examines the expansion of candombe into new socio-cultural spaces, as well as the increasing participation of protagonists from outside the Afro-Uruguayan community.
