carnival groups of musicians and singers (known as murgas, coros, chirigotas and comparsas)

Locals and tourists alike are invited to join in this festival of street musicians, choirs, satirical songs, and musical groups.
Something like that. Not entirely sure about "murgas" and "comparsas", to be fair. There may be better terms for those two. HTH though.
