| Program Notes | The gauchos were not peons. They were independent and enjoyed their absolute freedom. The Pampa was their habitat, and the horse their transportation. They did not work for a landlord and their resources came from whatever they could find in their nomadic lives. The "Malambo" (Danza de Los Llanos) was their music which they play with guitars while dancing. They used their spurs as percussion in combination with the boots points and heels. This was a dance for men only and a kind of challenge for the ones who were trying to be faster or more creative in their rhythmic inventions and more aggressive. Since it was performed only by male dancers, it was a metaphor of a duel! |
