WHAT IS MALAMBO?
At the beginning of the last century, in Argentina, the gauchos or cowboys created a kind of dance they eventually called MALAMBO. Malambo in the named language of the pampas, means to gallop, in a way, malambo imitated a galloping horse.
The malambo is one of the traditional dances of Argentina, of great dexterity, virility and energy, that it was born around the year 1600 in the Pampas solitudes.
It consists of an individual dance that is characterized by using an almost permanent tapping, that originally had the character of an individual
exhibition as a battle and challenge between men, who stomp in turn to music, and later became a spontaneous competition dance between countrymen.
The Show
MALEVO brings live music and virtuoso dance to the contemporary stage in an exciting and electrifying show, perfect for the whole family. An experience set to a pulsating rhythm of drums, boleadoras and stomping. The strength and energy of the Malambo, (traditional Argentine folk dance of great virility and dexterity), Malevo pushes it beyond its limits with a modern, avaunt-garden and transgressive approach, without ceasing to be faithful to the cultural foundations of this Argentinian traditional dance.
A visual and sensory experience, awakening the senses and increasing the adrenaline of the audience, a perfect combination of wild energy with a warrior instinct.

¿QUÉ ES MALAMBO?
A principios del siglo pasado, en Argentina, los gauchos o vaqueros crearon una especie de baile al que con el tiempo llamaron MALAMBO. Malambo en la lengua nombrada de las pampas, significa galopar, en cierto modo, malambo imitaba a un caballo al galope.
El malambo es una de las danzas tradicionales de Argentina, de gran destreza, virilidad y energía, que nació alrededor del año 1600 en las soledades pampeanas.
Consiste en un baile individual que se caracteriza por utilizar un golpeteo casi permanente, que originalmente tuvo el carácter de una exhibición individual como una batalla y desafío entre hombres, quienes a su vez pisotean al ritmo de la música, y luego se convirtió en un baile de competencia espontánea entre paisanos.
El Espectáculo
MALEVO lleva música en vivo y danza virtuosa al escenario contemporáneo en un espectáculo emocionante y electrizante, perfecto para toda la familia.
