MALEVO – SEE IT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ARIZONA! Suitable for All Ages! The “South American Sensation” – was created by director, choreographer, and dancer, Matías Jaime. The 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. While 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. 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 exciting and dynamic troupe of men has created a performance that not only pushes the Malambo style beyond its limits but gives audiences an extraordinary visual and sensory experience unlike any other.
After being named “Cultural Ambassador of the National Identity of Argentina” and achieving numerous successes, including performances in Las Vegas, New York, Dubai, Paris, Qatar, Saint Petersburg, Canada, London, and Moscow, as well as special presentations with Latin pop star Ricky Martin, Cirque du Soleil, a year-long season of performances at Universal Studios Japan and reaching the semi-finalists on the hit television show America’s Got Talent, MALEVO and a Spring 2023 25 city tour of the United States, Malevo is thrilled to bring their show to the UK for the first time.
What is Malambo?
The Malambo is a traditional dance handed down from older South American Cowboys to their younger counterparts, and one might imagine these dances taking place around campfires after a long day on horseback. Customarily a solo form, Malambo has long been among the original competitive dances. Argentinian Gauchos perfected their moves to wow, entertain and yes, beat out their fellow dancers.

Created by Emmy nominee Eugene Pack (creator of DCC: Making the Team, now going into season 16) and developed with Dayle Reyfel, the show has been critically acclaimed around the world from London’s West End to Australia’s Sydney Opera House to Broadway! Think Marty Short delivering a heartfelt passage of Justin Bieber’s dramatic search for a TGIF in Buenos Aires or Kristen Wiig interpreting “the early poems” of Suzanne Somers.
The possibilities are endless, in both content and entertainment, since everybody has a book –and there are always new ones “hot off the press“. There will be mash-ups of many memoirs with different themes like rock stars, foodies, politics, sports, romance, and guilty pleasures. There are also dueling “he said, she said” duos – combining confessions of famous love affairs told from different points of view. CELEBRITY AUTOBIOGRAPHY is a fun and always surprising show that you simply can’t stop watching!

¿Por qué es taaaan complicado? Este tema queda fuera de las típicas conferencias para parejas, y sin embargo el dinero es la principal causa de problemas en el matrimonio. ¿Quieres unir tu matrimonio y llevarlo a un nivel bien sabroso? * Un matrimonio que disfrutas no uno que soportas, es algo que se aprende no algo que se da. * Una pareja unida forma hijos sanos, triunfa financieramente y goza de un mejor matrimonio. * * Si no le echas leña a su matrimonio, no esperes que te de calor. Aviva la pasión y desata el poder financiero en pareja. ¡No se lo pierdan, los esperamos!
English Translation: Why is it soooo complicated? This topic is left out of typical couples conferences, and yet money is the main cause of problems in marriage. Do you want to unite your marriage and take it to a very tasty level? * A marriage that you enjoy, not one that you endure, is something that is learned, not something that is given. * A united couple raises healthy children, succeeds financially and enjoys a better marriage. * * If you don’t add fuel to his marriage, don’t expect him to warm you up. Fuel passion and unleash financial power as a couple. Don’t miss it, we are waiting for you!
