Now for a different rendition of the malambo. Here, the group El Picahueso dance a tribute to the 'liberating army' (let's not look down that telescope) in an annual competition held in Cosquin for all things 'folk'. This rendition is very different yet still holding to all malambo principles... and it won the group first prize in the malambo section - then they were declared the 'revelation of the 2020 Pre Cosquin Festival'. This video is from the 'heats', as it is actually better viewing than the finals one. I am starting it three minutes in because there was quite a bit of preamble...
Oh WOW! I love this one! Thanks for sharing! And the moon was shining like a spot light in my bedroom last night! I can't wait for it to be full!
ReplyDeleteThat was fun to watch. I love to listen to the sounds of the feet without watching all the time. It is amazing how well they keep up with the music.
ReplyDeleteThree cheers for great number...
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
What perfection! The movement of the feet and the sound. Marvellous!

I do love you say answers and I do love the sound of their keep hitting the floor it's just beautiful and music to my ears both the music and the taps
ReplyDeleteHow amazing and fun to watch. I've not seen malambo before. A friend from Argentina once described it to me as tap dancing, but clearly I didn't have the right impression.
ReplyDeleteWonderful. The skinny pants give a slightly different feel to the dance. namaste, janice xx
ReplyDeleteWe both liked it (cat with face against screen agaon) and particularly love that it's acceptable to modernize or theme performances. Keeping anything 'relevant' to now helps keep all its forms alive.
