Uruguayan carnival in Montevideo

Members of a comparsa, an Uruguayan carnival group, tune their drums with fire before parading during the Llamadas in Montevideo, Jan 31, 2013. Thousands of people crowd the capital's traditionally black neighborhood as costumed drummers and dancers kick off a street fiesta known as "llamadas" -- Spanish for "calls." The parade originated from the colonial period and started as a parade of slaves on the streets of the city. [Photo/Agencies]
