Mapale music and dance is perhaps one of the purest African found rythms on the Carribean Coast of Colombia.
El Mapale was brought to Colombia by Guinean slaves in the 1600's.
The Mapale is an erotically charged - fast and furious dance.Mapale is the name of a fish found in Colombia - so the movements also represent those of a fish out of water after. The dance was done as a celebration after a large catch of Mapale by the fisherman.

  • se mueven... pero les falta un poco mas

  • I am so glad to see a real mapale, with women dressed as the typical costume and not with the horrific G-strings they were at some of the hotels where they dance for foreign tourists. Loved it! Thanks for posting it.

  • tienes razon, tu los has visto bailar en cartagena.... es un espectaculo en cada parque de la ciudad amurallada, es muy bonito.. estas ni~a y los muchachos bailan super bien... y asi tambien ganan dinero... pues es la otra cara de cartagena la pobreza.. eso es lo que nunca muestran, claro yo no vivo en cartagena, simplemente queria contarte...
