The powerhouse all-male Argentinian dance company, Che Malambo, excites audiences with their percussive dance and music spectacle. Che Malambo celebrates the unique South American cowboy tradition of the gaucho. Malambo, a dymanic blend of precise footwork, rhythmic stomping, drumming and song, is at the heart of the gaucho tradition. Danced solely by men, the Malambo began in the 17th century as competitive duels that would challenge skills of agility, strength, and dexterity. Zapeteo, their fast paced footwork, is inspired by the rhythm of galloping horses in their native Argentina. This new production created by renowned choreographer Gilles Brinas is now thrilling audiences around the world.
