Born in the same region as cumbia 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.
