GAUCHO’S MALAMBO DANCE SHOW
This dance is similar to the Flamenco Spanish
tap dance – it is a masculine and energetic danceconsisting of "zapateo" (tapping with the feet),
and is performed by the GAUCHO as a solo.
Traditionally, it is presented at every National folk
dance in South America,
and it simulates a dispute among the gauchos
– the main gaucho character challenges the other gauchosto see who makes better moves and more thunderous taps.
The Malambo dance form was born in the early
17th century in the Pampas grasslands of Argentina,
and originated as a tournament of gaucho (cowboy) skills,
danced solely by men. Rhythmic, unruly and characterized
by virtuoso foot work, malambo dancing incorporates a
an amazing series of heel tapping (resembling American tap dance)and cepillada (grazing the floor with the sole of the foot).
