Hi, girls! Have a look at this definition:
A
comparsa (
conga de comparsa) is the band which plays a
conga during a
Cuban Carnival celebration. It consists of a large group of dancers dancing and traveling on the streets, followed by a
Carrosa (carriage) where the musicians play. The Comparsa is a development of African processions where groups of devotees followed a given saint or deity during a particular religious celebration.
