===Uruguay=== [[File:Natyoreirocom.jpg|thumb|upright|right|[[Natalia Oreiro]] in 2005]] {{Main|Music of Uruguay}} [[Uruguay]]an music has similar roots to that of Argentina. [[Uruguayan tango]] and ''[[milonga (music)|milonga]]'' are both popular styles, and folk music from along the [[Río de la Plata|River Plate]] is indistinguishable from its Argentine counterpart. Uruguay rock and ''cancion popular'' (Uruguayan versions of rock and pop music) are popular local forms. ''[[Candombe]]'', a style of drumming descended from African slaves in the area, is quintessentially Uruguayan (although it is played to a lesser extent in Argentina).<ref>In a Nutshell: Candombe, R. Slater [http://soundsandcolours.com/articles/uruguay/in-a-nutshell-candombe-101/ Sounds and Colours]</ref> It is most popular in [[Montevideo]], but may also be heard in a number of other cities. 21st. Century Uruguayan music is also heard internationally as part of the language of Uruguayan composers such as three-time [[Grammy Awards|Grammy]] nominated [[Miguel del Águila|Miguel del Aguila]]
