Mapalé is also the name of a fish. Legend has it that fishermen used to dance after a good fishing day, and that the dance's movements represent the movements of a fish out of water.
Why Mapalé?
It is a simple, strong, suggestive and intriguing word. The dance is extremely energetic and exuberant and somehow represent an inner pulsion towards the exterior, towards change, an irrepressible urge to express, to feel, to experience and more.
Mapalé is the image of all of those who express their inner strength through artistic creation.
As a dance, Mapalé is part of the ancestral heritage of a Latin-American country, though it is mostly ignored by most. The history of Mapalé itself shows that culture and tradition never die, keep living, growing, gaining from their new life elsewhere.
