The South American sensation are coming in hot for their Australian debut
With heart-pounding energy and passion, the men from Malevo bring you their contemporary take on the traditional Argentinian folkloric, Malambo; a folk dance originally performed by Gauchos of the Pampas region.
Created by director, choreographer, and dancer Matías Jaime, Malevo will blow you away with their high energy dance routines that fuses Malambo with flamenco and urban percussion. Set 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 (“brushing”/”scrubbing”).
This South American sensation has shared the stage with Latin Popstar Ricky Martin, and Cirque du Soleil. They reached the semi-final on America’s Got Talent, achieving a Judges standing ovation, and have performed across the world, from Las Vegas, New York, Dubai, Paris, Cairo and Montreal. Now this thrilling all-male troupe and their leathers are coming to Australia for the first time.
It’s sizzling. It’s saucy. It’s sensational. It's Malevo! And it’s set to shake up the Concert Hall for a performance of non-stop entertainment.
