Matias Jaime, Artistic Director and the Founder and Artistic Director Malevo has taken the traditional folklore dance of the malambo and has staged it in a way that is exciting and engaging for today’s contemporary audiences. 

Through his work with Malevo, Matias is constantly pushing the malambo art from forward, marking the future of this culture and ensuring that it is remains relevant and current. The dancers that make up Malevo are the most talented Malambo dancers in the world. In many cases, you will find individuals who are talented with the Boleadoras, or others who excel in the drumming of the Bombos. But to find so many all-around-artists who can do it all; percussive footwork, barefoot percussive foot work, bombos, boleadoras and many who can sing and play the guitars – that is something truly exceptional.
