Malambo (Dance)
Malambo is a folk dance in Argentina, a dance of gauchos. It is a solo dance of men (although it may be performed in groups). Its notable elements are elaborate leg movements with energetic '' zapateado''s (stomping) and ''cepillados'' ("brushing"/"scrubbing"). Dance scholar and folklorist Ventura Lynch described it as "a battle between men who stomp in turn to music". Leila Guerriero, A Simple Story: The Last Malambo', 2015, 2017book review ) There was no particular choreography for the dance. C.J. Videla-Rivero described it as follows: "One gaucho taps, kicks, crosses his legs, pounds the earth with the side of his feet, make his spurs tinkle, and fills the air with a thousand and one different figures while his opponent, crouched, watches him." It may be performed in various ways: solo, in groups (synchronized or individual choreographies), counterpoint ''vis a vis'', counterpoint quartets. The last two are of competitive form (in fact, in this form malambo was born): the o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chacarera
The Chacarera is a dance and music that originated in Santiago del Estero, Argentina. It is a genre of folk music that, for many Argentines, serves as a rural counterpart to the cosmopolitan imagery of the Tango. A dance form played by contemporary musicians as soloists or in small ensembles of voice, guitar, violin and bombo drum, the Chacarera is often legitimized by its “origin” in the remote province of Santiago del Estero. Chacarera music While much of the Chacarera repertoire can be traced to the 1920s sheet music of Andrés Chazarreta (Chazarreta 1947916, the contemporary Chacarera style described in this article was standardized by the recordings of the 1950s folk group Los Hermanos Ábalos (Ábalos 1952). Today, this style is ubiquitous throughout Argentina, with important variants appearing in the provinces of Santiago del Estero and Salta. Melody and harmony Contemporary Chacareras generally utilize descending, minor-mode melodies within an octave range. They are no ...

Bandoneon
The bandoneon (or bandonion, es, bandoneón) is a type of concertina particularly popular in Argentina and Uruguay. It is a typical instrument in most tango ensembles. As with other members of the concertina family, the bandoneon is held between the hands, and by pulling and pushing actions force air through bellows and then routing air through particular reeds as by pressing the instrument's buttons. Bandoneons have a different sound from accordions, because bandoneons do not usually have the register switches that are common on accordions. Nevertheless, the tone of the bandoneon can be changed a great deal using varied bellows pressure and overblowing, thus creating potential for expressive playing and diverse timbres. History The Bandonion, so named by the German instrument dealer Heinrich Band (1821–1860), was originally intended as an instrument for religious and popular music of the day, in contrast to its predecessor, German concertina (), which had predominantly b ...
