Hi, Auston! As an Uruguayan I don't really catch the idea of searching black people to interact. Maybe is the idiosyncrasy of the people in USA. But here in South America we don't see the thing that way in my opinion. I hope you enjoyed your stay in Uruguay.
The lady you asked didn't understand you were just looking for black people (which sounds strange if you think about it). She thought you wanted to see and film Candombe which is traditional music from here that comes from african traditions brought here by black slaves in the past. She thought this because neighborhoods like the one you visited participate in competitions during Carnaval and throughout the year, once a week usually, they practice by parading around the neighrborhood. The building you were standing in front of had a Carnaval painting motif on it, so it's probably where they gather for practice. She said they would be playing Candombe the next day (mañana) two blocks from where you were (dos cuadras).
This is somehow awkward. What would you say if I go to NY, or Miami, or San Francisco and I start to ask where is the blonde people, or the red haired, or the black people? 🤔
@AustonHollerman. Great video. I hope this encourages you to work on your Spanish, The lady you were talking to was Black, Mulatta. She told you at that time there would be no Blacks. Likely they were at work, so they would not be in the neighborhood. Then she asked you where you were staying? Your answer was, "Yes, Yes. " She was trying to help you. She told you come back tomorrow to those 2 blocks. Now, let me say, the Camera work is really clear and steady good job on that, also you did good job capturing the vibe there. Uruguay seems real chill and laid back. Also the music in the background is excellent, good job there. Keep it up, you are doing better and better work. Proud of you and your growth as a Travel Vlogger.
I always told people. If you are fascinated and intrigue by a certain culture or country? Please try to take the time to learn how to speak their language, learn how to write, to read the local writing script, learn their culture, traditions and history, etc.

2 things: first, the gym you went to is in my neighborhood, cool, second, there is no black neighborhood, black people live everywhere, they are not segregated, the southern neighborhood and Palermo are common places where There is a slightly larger community of blacks, and it is where drum calls and strings are made, something typical of Uruguay and the black or Afro-descendant population. Black people came to Uruguay as slaves, but they integrated into society like other people, they mixed, we all have a little bit of everyone here in Uruguay

Minute 7:43 the lady asked you if you wanted to see "Candombe" playing. It is at night that they go out to play in the streets. Candombe is an Afro-Uruguayan rhythm.
You misunderstood the lady, whites and blacks meet together to play the drum at night, she told you that they meet at night "tomorrow." In the Sur neighborhood and Palermo they meet to rehearse. It's a shame you didn't have a guide to explain it to you so there was no confusion.

There is no specific neighborhood in which only people of different races live, we all live together in the same neighborhood. No distinction is made between races or ideologies. It is a very free country
The lady was telling you to come back the next day, closer to night time in Uruguay and mostly in Palermo they practice Candombe on the street, with drums and parade
Ok I will explain what the lady was trying to tell you… She was talking about “Candombe” which is a Carneval Music that is played in Uruguay with drumps and a lot of people dancing Zamba, typically this is part of the Afro Culture that exists in Uruguay and there you will probably see many Black people that live in Montevideo meeting for this events and enjoying the afro culture and music. I recommend you to go see it, its a GOOD energy!
Great video, Auston!!! Uruguay, seems like an interesting country. That Uruguayan mate really got my attention! In previous videos, I noticed subtle reactions of a few people, at different times, as you were placing the mixture down to take care of whatever business you had going on. A few TH-cam videos shows mate being prepared and consumed MUCH differently than how you are!!! 🤷🏾♂️
Think she was referring to the street music 2 blocks away is what she told you. Guess majority of them are black . They usually perform at night time. It’s awesome experienced it myself in feb. Lots of drums!
The lady was saying that you should come by the next day at night. It’s most likely an area where people party on that particular day. It’s kind of like the street of sin in Cali Colombia if you’ve visited that area in Cali Colombia where they party on that particular street Friday through Sunday. Hopefully you found this helpful. Love your content bro. I’m a passport bro myself and have been for 10 years. My wife is from Colombia, but I traveled many different places before decided on my wife. Enjoy your life brother and keep doing your thing.
Instead of asking around do some quiche search online lmao. It takes two minutes of research online. Most live in Montevideo, ask where you can see some Candomble (the afro uruguayan dance) : "Disculpe, ¿sabe dónde puedo ver Candomblé? la danza y la música de los afrodescendientes"
The thing that the woman was trying to point is that at certain time the day after there will be candombe music groups. "candombe" is a genra of folkloric music in Uruguay, every year this candombe groups get out to play their drums in the streets. The genra came from black slaves that european people got with them when they arrive to Uruguay about 200 or 300 years ago, (obvously nowadays it is not only black people who play it) by the way it is said that its origin was in that exact neighborhood, "barrio sur"y "palermo". It is a heavy part of our culture, so seeing that you are a tourist she understood that you were looking for that.
Dear Auston: the blacks in Montevideo are not segregated as in other parts of the world. Although there are some neighbourhoods where they tend to live and one of them is called Palermo which was, for many years in the distant past, where they were kept during the infamous slave trade. That particular neighbourhood has become one of the icons of Montevideo for its strong African character. What you really need is someone who can help you around the city and finding someone in the Internet would be the best chance. Besides, you are browsing around the most expensive areas of that city where tourist are scammed easily, as anywhere else in the world. Not many people speak english there, although you can find, during the high touristy high season, some people who can communicate in portugues and/english. Montevideo is the largest city of that small South American country, but it is not the only interesting place in Uruguay. There are many other cities along the coast and in the interior where you can really feel the true character of that nation. Greetings from Toronto.
I don't there are black neighborhoods in Uruguay, as there is no segregation. In fact most black people here don't even think of themselves as black, they just think they are uruguayans like the rest
The lady was telling you to go the other day because of CANDOMBE, its a Street party originally from Africa , so lots of black people tend to gather there, U WONT FIND A BLACK HOOD IN URUGUAY, we are all mixed in differents parts of the city, we dont differenciate skin color like in the US.
I'm a fairly new viewer from your time in Romania until now. I really enjoy your content. But I must say that putting the pictures of people on your thumbnail without their consent is kind of slimy. I noticed you did not do that in Argentina or Romania. Seems you either have too much respect or fear of white people or perhaps respect through fear. Either way I find it disrespectful to put this lady's picture on your thumbnail when she was simply going about her day and did not get a chance to look her best
😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Salsa club in Uruguay? To start Uruguay is not Miami, nor any other country in Latín América, where You can find lots of black people, or brown skin colored people. We're more than 90% white. We don't have native people either. Salsa is not a rithm from Uruguay, is from the Caribe, most Uruguayans don't even like it, and of course if You go to a salsa club you'll find Cubans,Venezuelans and Dominicans, mainly black people. And excuse me but Candombe is not number one music in Uruguay, for sure by now he already knows we, Uruguayans prefer pop ando rock from USA ando England, besides Uruguay has its own folk music, played with guitars and is related with our European origin, which has nothing to do with Candombe. Most Uruguayans don't Even like Candombe or Carnival.
@@BLACKSTA361 What is your problem? Do You know the word respect? I care shit your "lmao". I'm Uruguayan I know my country and in a club you don't find a boyfriend or girlfriend, You just find somebody with whom to hung out, and to have sex, an scort, and no more than that. Of course to find girl to go out he must pay, we're not used to interracial couples. And I don't care if you like it or not. We're not Caribbeans, we're a completely different culture in South America, we're the most white and European country in South America.
@@e4vetYour comment has rac#st undertone. Interesting how you emphasize your "whiteness" and yet this channel belongs to a black man. Do you even know that black American are descendants of slaves taken from Africa? Its normal that he is going to want to see black people wherever he travels because he is a black man.
I think you need a translator, because even though English is becoming a popular language now in Uruguay, and many of us learned it as kids, there still many others who didn't. She assumed you wanted to watch Candombe which is the traditional music inherited by the African slaves.. Some black Uruguayan still usually get together to play candombe in the street. I say some, because there are also white people playing among them.
Soy Uruguayo y no tomo mate, pero hasta mi me duele ver lo que le hace a ese mate, jaja... en todos sus videos solo resalta lo racial, acaso tu unica cualidad es ser negro ?no creo , estas en otro pais, otra cultura, deja de buscar los defectos de la tuya aqui y aprende.
@@trafalgarlaw5208it was the camera. Many people here don't appreciate when others record them without their consent. To others doing that just stands out like sma sore thumb.
This whole focus on race that you have is not understood in Uruguay, nobody cares about it. If women date you is because they find you attractive. Going around asking where the black people are sounds very strange 😂
Hi Austin. I hope you read this. 2 things here we dont have like a place where the black people live or gather arround they are all over. They mention you Palermo because this neighbor is known to be the starter one whit the Candombe culture. Very popular african culture in our country. But that dosent meant you will find only black people over there. I hope you can find a "Llamadas" parade tomorrow because you can see all this african culture. But is a mix of races over there. And the other thing is your Mate. You made a nice attemp, but you need to see in youtube videos of how to propper prepare a Uruguayan mate. You need to put the yerba to a side and fill the hot water in a hole not touching the yerba. Not fill all over the place because that moisten all the yerba. And you can buy a cheap "TERMO" is the conteiner of hot water so you can fill it up when the mate is over. Hope you read this and enjoy our country. Good luck.
@@AustonHolleman the history is Uruguay is Amerindian first and foremost, secondly and lastly it is mestizo and European. Anything else is irrelevant as any other group is also a foreign entity and a very small exception being a super minority. Latin America is not black, and will never be that way unless you’re into disrespecting the original people of those lands, only being the Amerindians. Besides a handful of countries in Latin America, most of Latin America is sub 10% black….i know, facts are inconvenient.
@@AustonHollemanl find no problem with that. However, l don't understand that obsession of finding black people. I mean, people is just people no matter your skin color. I can't understand US idocincracy
She was telling you that tomorrow the black people come out ! And that 2 streets over is where they hang out. So you were right in your interpretation!
Hey Auston love the videos coming from Uruguay if it helps tomorrow 12/16 starting on Isla de Flores and Santiago de Chile in Montevideo you can see a lot of Uruguay’s black culture maybe not necessarily all black groups but there’s def gonna be black people everywhere
Hey Austin, I'm enjoying your content. I picked you up when you were hanging out with zoom. You guys have inspired me to get my passport, no I'm just trying to make a decision which direction to go? I was wondering why you guys don't use the handheld translators? There's some really expensive ones that are pretty awesome but I'm sure there's apps for free on your phone just wanted to put that out there keep up the good work brother hope to see you one day on the road. By the way I joined your membership.
Its not the race but the gathering. Uruguay is multiethnic like the US but also is mixed like the rest od Sourh America. The gal at the counter you talked on your last video was a "mulata" which means she was half black and that's how most of the black people in Uruguay look like, only a quarter of them are 100% black and keep in mind both combined just make 10% to 15% of the population. African roots however are a - Very important - PART of Uruguayan culture and a "cuerda de tambores" drum session is as close as you're going to find to Africa in South America. In those gatherings you'll find a higher concentration of balck people because they come from GENERATIONS UPON GENERATIONS of musicans and dancers. Next Sunday in 18 de Julio avenue at 20:30 PM there will be a parade of 35 comparasas lubolas.
Black Americans need to think about why everything has to be black and white,not everywhere is like America,where are the black peoples,not everywhere was or is an Apartheid state like America.. And yes Austin has grown up a bit as it’s not just about the women it’s about seeing the culture.
I noticed that as well... Uruguay has peace corps working abroad, and many travel to African countries, so I wonder if they were tempted to ask him if he was from somewhere there... who knows... In Uruguay, we have a woman Angelina Bunge, who is a politician, and she is a "diputada suplente," I assume you can translate that as an alternate representative... well why do I tell you all this? Because Angelina was born in Angola, and she is the only "diputada" from abroad. She met one of these military people, a lady who was working in her country. When this lady found out that Angelina was interested in emigrating, this woman invited her to go to Uruguay. Angelina still calls her, "mom."
You should attend to "la llamada" to get a feeling of our black culture roots, which are pretty damn deep in our country and we embrace them. Don´t know about my fellow countrymans opinions, but we have like 0% to non existent racism here in SA. We do have, however, our differences with other people, but its not because of their skin colour but their country of origin. So yeah. Enjoy your time around and dont get offended if someone call you "negro" because we use it in a friendly way. Like when someone says "How are you negrito?" or in spanish: como estas negrito? And we say that even white people so, yeah. Enjoy!
Like I’ve said before people should do a little research prior to visiting get to know a little dos and don’ts “as you say in our Latin culture negrito is a way of endearment it’s not offending. But going to any country and cannot communicate must really be crap.
@@enrique55455 I mean... you have the tools if you want to help yourself and the others. For example, I once worked in a Hotel in which someone put Netflix on Hebrew and nobody could watch tv because of not knowing how to change the language. So I got my phone, put the thing that translates writing captions in the camera into my language and profit. For speaking & communicating, use google translate. Is that simple. I lived in New Zealand for two years. Hated it.
Hey Auston, I love the effort that your putting in young brother, it shows. I think your on the right track with this type of content. Keep up the good work.👍🏾

Lol I been to Uruguay, lots of blacks live there, mostly in Montevideo and other areas, you were in punta este, not much their, and uruguayans re mostly inside, or take bus or drive, they don't just go outside to walk , that outside hanging mostly in Colombia, Brazil, Venezuela, the other south American countries ppl are inside all day
I'm from Uruguay. There are always black people, many uruguayan patritian families have their wealth due to slavement of people, many surnames from colonial heritage such as Viana, Lacalle, Herrera, Gowland and Artigas have made their fortune in part due to slavement. In recent times, many people from Venezuela, Cuba and Dominican Republic have arrived to the country and many of them are black, in addiction you can find some senegaleses in Chuy
Todo x hacer quedar mal al presidente,esclavos hubo en todos lados ,pero te esmeraste en nombrar a Lacalle,gente que no supera sus pensamientos negativos .
Creo que eran norteamericanos y miraron cuando escucharon hablar en inglés, la embajada está cruzando la calle. I think they were Americans and they looked when they heard English being spoken, the embassy is across the street.
the woman was telling him to come tomorrow because there are "Candombe" meetings. Candombe is an afro-uruguayan music style and Is very important for black-uruguayan people so he can find a lot of them.
Soy arabe no muy bien hablar español he visitado los países Argentina y Uruguay la verdad dos países muy bellos pero note más gente de tes clara en Argentina
The black people of Uruguay have mixed with the white population mainly during the 20th century. However, their traditions persist and are reflected in the music (candombe) that is now part of Uruguayan popular music. Recently, black people from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela and West Africa began arriving in Uruguay. The painter Pedro Figari (1861-1938) illustrated in images the life of the black community in the 19th century in Uruguay.
Lmao, like food in a restaurant or something... "we're out of negroes today, come back tomorrow". Next she's gonna say he has to call ahead for that order

The thing that the woman was trying to point is that at certain time the day after there will be candombe music groups.
"candombe" is a genra of folkloric music in Uruguay, every year this candombe groups get out to play their drums in the streets. The genra came from black slaves that european people got with them when they arrive to Uruguay about 200 or 300 years ago, (obvously nowadays it is not only black people who play it) by the way it is said that its origin was in that exact neighborhood, "barrio sur"y "palermo".
It is a heavy part of our culture, so seeing that you are a tourist she understood that you were looking for that.
Helo, she thought you were asking for Candombe (genre of black music) not black people. Go where she told you, you may have fun.
Dear Auston: the blacks in Montevideo are not segregated as in other parts of the world. Although there are some neighbourhoods where they tend to live and one of them is called Palermo which was, for many years in the distant past, where they were kept during the infamous slave trade.
That particular neighbourhood has become one of the icons of Montevideo for its strong African character.
What you really need is someone who can help you around the city and finding someone in the Internet would be the best chance.
Besides, you are browsing around the most expensive areas of that city where tourist are scammed easily, as anywhere else in the world.
Not many people speak english there, although you can find, during the high touristy high season, some people who can communicate in portugues and/english.
Montevideo is the largest city of that small South American country, but it is not the only interesting place in Uruguay. There are many other cities along the coast and in the interior where you can really feel the true character of that nation.
Greetings from Toronto.
I don't there are black neighborhoods in Uruguay, as there is no segregation. In fact most black people here don't even think of themselves as black, they just think they are uruguayans like the rest
LOL
TOMORROW THEY WILL BE IN THE STREETS PLAYING DRUMS CANDOMBE, WHERE SHE TOLD YOU
The lady was telling you to go the other day because of CANDOMBE, its a Street party originally from Africa , so lots of black people tend to gather there, U WONT FIND A BLACK HOOD IN URUGUAY, we are all mixed in differents parts of the city, we dont differenciate skin color like in the US.
Like u think u Will find an Asian hood a black hood, etc, here dosent work like that, people are spread around just like in a normal City
Can’t be scared just walk around there and see what’s up 😂
Auston: para conocer bien el factor afro en Uruguay, tienes que visitar la Casa Afrouruguaya en Montevideo (Isla de Flores 1645).
I'm a fairly new viewer from your time in Romania until now. I really enjoy your content. But I must say that putting the pictures of people on your thumbnail without their consent is kind of slimy. I noticed you did not do that in Argentina or Romania. Seems you either have too much respect or fear of white people or perhaps respect through fear. Either way I find it disrespectful to put this lady's picture on your thumbnail when she was simply going about her day and did not get a chance to look her best
The older lady was of mixed race…
Uruguay is the most European Caucasian country in South and Central America.
true
“Highest concentration of whites in South America = 92% of total Uruguayan population”
Nope, that's Argentina.
Auston, the number one music of Uruguay is Afro original, called Candombe. For sure if you visit any Salsa Club you will find Afro Uruguayan there.
😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Salsa club in Uruguay? To start Uruguay is not Miami, nor any other country in Latín América, where You can find lots of black people, or brown skin colored people. We're more than 90% white. We don't have native people either. Salsa is not a rithm from Uruguay, is from the Caribe, most Uruguayans don't even like it, and of course if You go to a salsa club you'll find Cubans,Venezuelans and Dominicans, mainly black people. And excuse me but Candombe is not number one music in Uruguay, for sure by now he already knows we, Uruguayans prefer pop ando rock from USA ando England, besides Uruguay has its own folk music, played with guitars and is related with our European origin, which has nothing to do with Candombe. Most Uruguayans don't Even like Candombe or Carnival.
@@e4vetLmao.😂🤡
@@BLACKSTA361 What is your problem? Do You know the word respect? I care shit your "lmao". I'm Uruguayan I know my country and in a club you don't find a boyfriend or girlfriend, You just find somebody with whom to hung out, and to have sex, an scort, and no more than that. Of course to find girl to go out he must pay, we're not used to interracial couples. And I don't care if you like it or not. We're not Caribbeans, we're a completely different culture in South America, we're the most white and European country in South America.
@@e4vetYour comment has rac#st undertone. Interesting how you emphasize your "whiteness" and yet this channel belongs to a black man. Do you even know that black American are descendants of slaves taken from Africa? Its normal that he is going to want to see black people wherever he travels because he is a black man.
Looks like you should learn the public transportation system.
She asked "where are you staying?"
Welcome passport bros. You are doing great. If you want to find Candombe. Just follow the drums that you will hear. 🎉
Gracias hombre
I think you need a translator, because even though English is becoming a popular language now in Uruguay, and many of us learned it as kids, there still many others who didn't. She assumed you wanted to watch Candombe which is the traditional music inherited by the African slaves.. Some black Uruguayan still usually get together to play candombe in the street. I say some, because there are also white people playing among them.
What was Saturday night like, i told him its te weekends where he'll see most women. Most ppl can only afford to go out once a week.
Soy Uruguayo y no tomo mate, pero hasta mi me duele ver lo que le hace a ese mate, jaja... en todos sus videos solo resalta lo racial, acaso tu unica cualidad es ser negro ?no creo , estas en otro pais, otra cultura, deja de buscar los defectos de la tuya aqui y aprende.
Your around town videos are nice. 👍🏾
You must think mean mugging and seeing many old fat chicks is nice as well lol
cool footage. military was giving you the ice grillz 😆
They were hating
@@hybridinfodesk409 foreign militaries are known to be xenophobic
No creo en Uruguay no somos tan racista como USA , ellos miraban por curiosidad
@@trafalgarlaw5208it was the camera. Many people here don't appreciate when others record them without their consent. To others doing that just stands out like sma sore thumb.
This whole focus on race that you have is not understood in Uruguay, nobody cares about it. If women date you is because they find you attractive. Going around asking where the black people are sounds very strange 😂
she said tomorrow their will be drummers for 2 blocks, or on 2 blocks. kinda like a weekly get together jam session.
Hi Austin. I hope you read this. 2 things here we dont have like a place where the black people live or gather arround they are all over. They mention you Palermo because this neighbor is known to be the starter one whit the Candombe culture. Very popular african culture in our country. But that dosent meant you will find only black people over there. I hope you can find a "Llamadas" parade tomorrow because you can see all this african culture. But is a mix of races over there. And the other thing is your Mate. You made a nice attemp, but you need to see in youtube videos of how to propper prepare a Uruguayan mate. You need to put the yerba to a side and fill the hot water in a hole not touching the yerba. Not fill all over the place because that moisten all the yerba. And you can buy a cheap "TERMO" is the conteiner of hot water so you can fill it up when the mate is over. Hope you read this and enjoy our country. Good luck.
Have you try going to places like Palermo and Barrio Sur
Dude.. im in town for de weekend, i can help you with the afro eritage and your mate skills 😂. Im not black but have afro eritage
That’s like asking where are the Japanese in Zimbabwe lmfao. What’s the obsession to find black folks in non black countries?
Learn history on Uruguay
@@AustonHolleman the history is Uruguay is Amerindian first and foremost, secondly and lastly it is mestizo and European. Anything else is irrelevant as any other group is also a foreign entity and a very small exception being a super minority. Latin America is not black, and will never be that way unless you’re into disrespecting the original people of those lands, only being the Amerindians. Besides a handful of countries in Latin America, most of Latin America is sub 10% black….i know, facts are inconvenient.
@@AustonHollemanl find no problem with that. However, l don't understand that obsession of finding black people. I mean, people is just people no matter your skin color. I can't understand US idocincracy
@ don’t fuck with the blacks if you don’t like them
Music has a nice Vibe to it! Like to hear more of this feature
She was telling you that tomorrow the black people come out ! And that 2 streets over is where they hang out. So you were right in your interpretation!
Hey A, curious to know if other people walk around with that cup of liquid cocaine too
Jajajaja cocaína ?? Si te refieres al mate no es cocaína, es tradición uruguaya, argentina y paraguay 😅 solo es yerba mate
Cocaine? 😂
Bro! You should go back tomorrow! You were just 2 blocks away! They play Tambores 🪘! Is close to Capoeira 🤸 music 😅
What is that drink you keep mixing up, please send me the name or show me a picture
Bravo, now this is a man who knows how to use their passport 👏🏿👏🏿
Hey Auston love the videos coming from Uruguay if it helps tomorrow 12/16 starting on Isla de Flores and Santiago de Chile in Montevideo you can see a lot of Uruguay’s black culture maybe not necessarily all black groups but there’s def gonna be black people everywhere
Hey Austin, I'm enjoying your content. I picked you up when you were hanging out with zoom. You guys have inspired me to get my passport, no I'm just trying to make a decision which direction to go? I was wondering why you guys don't use the handheld translators? There's some really expensive ones that are pretty awesome but I'm sure there's apps for free on your phone just wanted to put that out there keep up the good work brother hope to see you one day on the road. By the way I joined your membership.
This makes me want to learn spanish.
Its not the race but the gathering. Uruguay is multiethnic like the US but also is mixed like the rest od Sourh America. The gal at the counter you talked on your last video was a "mulata" which means she was half black and that's how most of the black people in Uruguay look like, only a quarter of them are 100% black and keep in mind both combined just make 10% to 15% of the population. African roots however are a - Very important - PART of Uruguayan culture and a "cuerda de tambores" drum session is as close as you're going to find to Africa in South America. In those gatherings you'll find a higher concentration of balck people because they come from GENERATIONS UPON GENERATIONS of musicans and dancers. Next Sunday in 18 de Julio avenue at 20:30 PM there will be a parade of 35 comparasas lubolas.
@@marekcracovia4061 Only 87%, most of the other people are either black mulattoes.
Im new here, what is the green herbs😊😊
Black Americans need to think about why everything has to be black and white,not everywhere is like America,where are the black peoples,not everywhere was or is an Apartheid state like America..
And yes Austin has grown up a bit as it’s not just about the women it’s about seeing the culture.
Somebody help this man make mate please😂😂😂
Goofy comment
@@rodericksutton2983 sos uruguayo o argentino?
Jajajajaja
Looks real chill out there. I want to check it out
Auston is like Thurston Howell the 3rd. Eating a sandwich with a fork. 😂😂. Be careful those soldiers were looking funny
I noticed that as well... Uruguay has peace corps working abroad, and many travel to African countries, so I wonder if they were tempted to ask him if he was from somewhere there... who knows... In Uruguay, we have a woman Angelina Bunge, who is a politician, and she is a "diputada suplente," I assume you can translate that as an alternate representative... well why do I tell you all this? Because Angelina was born in Angola, and she is the only "diputada" from abroad. She met one of these military people, a lady who was working in her country. When this lady found out that Angelina was interested in emigrating, this woman invited her to go to Uruguay. Angelina still calls her, "mom."
hay tutoriales para aprontar el mate como lo hacemos acá. Look for it please

😂😂😂.tomorrow tomorrow...❤❤❤
Mmm (7:07) another good looking Uruguay guy.😍 I totally date him in a heartbeat. 😘
LMAO
You should attend to "la llamada" to get a feeling of our black culture roots, which are pretty damn deep in our country and we embrace them.
Don´t know about my fellow countrymans opinions, but we have like 0% to non existent racism here in SA. We do have, however, our differences with other people, but its not because of their skin colour but their country of origin. So yeah. Enjoy your time around and dont get offended if someone call you "negro" because we use it in a friendly way. Like when someone says "How are you negrito?" or in spanish: como estas negrito? And we say that even white people so, yeah. Enjoy!
Like I’ve said before people should do a little research prior to visiting get to know a little dos and don’ts “as you say in our Latin culture negrito is a way of endearment it’s not offending. But going to any country and cannot communicate must really be crap.
@@enrique55455 I mean... you have the tools if you want to help yourself and the others. For example, I once worked in a Hotel in which someone put Netflix on Hebrew and nobody could watch tv because of not knowing how to change the language. So I got my phone, put the thing that translates writing captions in the camera into my language and profit. For speaking & communicating, use google translate. Is that simple.
I lived in New Zealand for two years. Hated it.
If you want to find black people you could always return to Houston. I hear it has a large vibrant black population. Enjoy your travels in SA.
and crazy violence in return
He isn't from Houston. He is from Ft. Worth
I wish he would. He's so obsessed with skin color instead of just enjoying the countries he's in. It's like he got ptsd from colonial times.
Hey Auston, I love the effort that your putting in young brother, it shows. I think your on the right track with this type of content. Keep up the good work.👍🏾
8:28 Why didn't you ask this sista??
when she said with gas she meant would you like sparkling water
Se lee feo ,donde se quedan los negros,vivían antes allí por su cultura pero ahora las comparsas hay tanto blanco como negros,pueden vivir donde quieran no están segregados,en los libros viejos podes leer ,que es poco el porcentaje de negros en mi época escolar hace muchísimos años,decían los textos escolares el 5% de la población ,ahora verás mucho más , la cantidad de gente cubana y de esas lugares que han llegado,si alguien le traduce gracias,no le decimos gente de color ,porque tampoco nos referimos a nosotros como blancos ,que es nuestro color,todos somos personas.
Los estadounidenses no entienden que todo ese temita racial es tema suyo, se la pasan exportando mambos.
Lol I been to Uruguay, lots of blacks live there, mostly in Montevideo and other areas, you were in punta este, not much their, and uruguayans re mostly inside, or take bus or drive, they don't just go outside to walk , that outside hanging mostly in Colombia, Brazil, Venezuela, the other south American countries ppl are inside all day
Bro be hooked on that zaza juice like its lean.....
I'm from Uruguay. There are always black people, many uruguayan patritian families have their wealth due to slavement of people, many surnames from colonial heritage such as Viana, Lacalle, Herrera, Gowland and Artigas have made their fortune in part due to slavement. In recent times, many people from Venezuela, Cuba and Dominican Republic have arrived to the country and many of them are black, in addiction you can find some senegaleses in Chuy
Todo x hacer quedar mal al presidente,esclavos hubo en todos lados ,pero te esmeraste en nombrar a Lacalle,gente que no supera sus pensamientos negativos .

Yup. Deal with it.
this was hilarious. black people are like big foot sightings. oh they dont come in this hour, maybe tomorrow, lol.
the woman was telling him to come tomorrow because there are "Candombe" meetings. Candombe is an afro-uruguayan music style and Is very important for black-uruguayan people so he can find a lot of them.
Really difficult to see one! I remember one in highschool and was the only one among all white people 😂

The black people of Uruguay have mixed with the white population mainly during the 20th century. However, their traditions persist and are reflected in the music (candombe) that is now part of Uruguayan popular music. Recently, black people from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela and West Africa began arriving in Uruguay. The painter Pedro Figari (1861-1938) illustrated in images the life of the black community in the 19th century in Uruguay.
