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.
