The "malambo" was born in the loneliness of the Argentinean plains around 1600. Among Argentinean dances it is exceptional, because it doesn’t feature lyrics and is only performed by men supported by elaborate guitar accompaniments. The malambo dancers wear gaucho boots and perform intricate tap dancing moves, like the "cepillada, the "repique" and the "floreos". Complex and energetic, the malambo was traditionally danced in tournaments to exhibit the extraordinary skills of the gauchos.
che… malambô is a dynamic perfromance that beautifully expresses the virtuosity and vitality of this unique South American dance form.
