Culture in Uruguay

Uruguay is characterised as being a multicultural country because it is made up of a population with a high number of immigrants. In terms of gastronomy it is marked by combination of recipes from different cultures. It has excellent dishes and sides, and its steak ‘a la parilla’ (roasted) in the star in the national cooking crown, as a farming country. Mate stands out as its native drink, an infusion unique to the country. In respect to music the biggest exponent is Tango, with the Montevideo Philharmonic Orchestra considered the best tango orchestra in the world. Another key music is the Milonga. There is also purely native music: el candombe – with African roots and made with drums and la murga – based on a choir singing a song which contains social content in an ironic and entertaining way.
