/Sounds like "MOOR" (as in "moon") + "gah" (as in "garden")/
A carnival street ensemble that combines theater, live music, and sharp social commentary delivered with humor. In Uruguay it is a serious art form: groups rehearse for months to perform satirical pieces that take aim at politicians and current events. The Uruguayan carnival, centered on the murga, is the longest carnival in the world.
“We went to watch the murga at the neighborhood carnival stage on Saturday.”
“The murga won first prize at carnival with lyrics about the economic crisis.”

Mandar al carajo
To reject or dismiss someone firmly, leaving no room for a comeback. "Carajo" has nautical origins (the top of the mast, used as punishment) and became both an insult and the symbolic destination of anyone being sent away for good.
