MALEVO &ndash\; the &ldquo\;South American Sensation&rdquo\; &ndash\; was created by director\, choreographer\, and dancer\, Matí\;as Jaime. The all-male Company has reenvisioned the Argentine dance of Malambo\, taking what is a traditional Argentinian folkloric dance performed originally by Gauchos of the Pampas region and elevating it to a modern\, avant-garde\, and transgressive vision.
\n\nWhile maintaining the great virility and dexterity of Malambo\, the Company has elevated this traditional dance by fusing its classic technique with other styles such as flamenco and incorporating live percussion onstage.
\n\nSet to a pulsating rhythm of drums\, the choreography combines the use of boleadoras\, a leather and stone hunting tool used by Gauchos\, with fast leg movements\, energetic zapateados (stomping)\, and quick cepillados (&ldquo\;brushing&rdquo\;/&rdquo\;scrubbing&rdquo\;).
\n\nNamed an official &ldquo\;Cultural Ambassador to the National Identity of Argentina&rdquo\;\, MALEVO has earned international acclaim and were semi-finalists on \;America&rsquo\;s Got Talent. Their shows are exciting and dynamic\, allowing the dancers to create a performance that not only pushes the Malambo style beyond its limits but gives audiences an extraordinary visual and sensory experience unlike any other.
