Boleadoras Show Spain

A mesmerising high-energy act, originating from the pampas of Argentina. A unique and entertaining experience using powerful vibrant drums, rapid rhythms and intricate footwork, all with a fiery modern twist.

After the impressive opening the Boleadoras are introduced as a surprise. The rapid swinging of the ropes and the sharp slapping of the balls on the floor join into the rhythm.

The Boleadoras are little balls tied on the ends of ropes. In Argentina they were traditionally used with a throwing technique to catch cattle. Later they also appeared in the folk dance of the Gauchos as a percussion instrument along with the feet and the drums. Simultaneously they give a strong visual image, which supports the energy of the dance.

The performance lasts between 8 and 20 minutes, using a minimum of 2 up to a maximum of 8 gauchos. The show can be performed as an individual act, part of a variety show or other production. May also include lights or fire and if required public participation.

The team have a traditional gauchos act and also recently have been performing dressed as vampires and demons for an added dramatic effect.
