MAPALE Colombia is a land of mountains,

valleys and plains that are home to great biodiversity. It’s a land of wonderful places that have been transformed into world heritage through their archaeological sites, populations and carnivals. Sites that tell stories of ancient indigenous traditions, populations that witnessed the Spanish conquest/colonization and carnivals highlight the joy the Colombian people.

Colombia’s rhythms and traditional dances honor a multicultural wealth of indigenous, African and European origins. These come together into a fusion inspired by the customs of the places where these traditions take place. The weather and natural resources of these populations influence the way to dress, the food choices, the behavior of the natives and the way of live. In turn, all of which have become the source of inspiration for this magical Colombia.

Thus, Mapale was born. Along the Magdalena River, the fishermen in earlier times discovered a small fish which they

called Mapalé, whose movements gave rise to a frenetic dance, characterized by the symbolic body movements of the fish when caught. Over time, this dance rhythm with a strong African influence executed with great speed, has been transformed. It has adopted a sensual and frenetic nature showcasing great physical skills. Being a typical dance of the Colombian Caribbean coast, it’s indicative of typical festivities and carnivals.

Please join us for an informal discussion and talk-back in Overture Hall immediately after tonight’s performance.

MAPALE (cont.)

BALLET FOLKLÓRICO DE ANTIOQUIA, COLOMBIA

Mapale is a show that will let you connect with the indigenous origins of Colombia. Mapale is an ancestry that tells the stories of the men and women who work the land, who celebrate slyly while showing a mastery of their instruments of tillage. It’s a story of a country that vibrates to the stomping of the Colombian cowboys in the plains. It’s an account of the singing that is evoked from the dancing traditions of the river folk.

The entertainment corporation, Ballet Folklórico de Antioquia, Colombia, is a cultural organization with a 20-year trajectory that promotes the strengthening of Colombian cultural identities in national and international audiences through the enjoyment of dance and music as artistic expressions. We mean to be the best cultural ambassadors of our country.

Diversity, precision, and emotion are the characteristics that shine through in each of the 60 choreographies that we present, all of which are compiled in the following shows: Baila Colombia, Colombia Cultura Milenaria, Colombia Viva, Tierra de Esperanza, Sabor Latino, Colombia de Fiesta y Carnaval, and Tierra de Tambores y Polleras.

The ballet has been critically acclaimed for its professionalism, high technical level, and artistic quality; thus, it has been duly recognized within its field. Some of these awards and recognition include the following: awarded the “Cabe Citar” Gold Medal at the Stylized Folk Olympics in Dijon, France in 1998; granted the “Ugo Re Capriata” special recognition award at the International Folk Dance Festival in Agrigento, Italy in 2003; given special recognition for excellent participation at the International Festival of the Performing Arts in Tamaulipas, México in October, 2005 and October, 2009; granted the special recognition “Perfección” as a special guest at the 25th Annual International Festival in Drummondville in Quebec, Canada in 2006; recognized with excellence at

Moreover, it’s the story of the Cumbia that sounds like Colombia wherever it is heard and, as a result, makes it irresistable to dance to. Lastly, it’s a tale where the carnival became heritage and salsa dancing became the dressing of our Latin flavor; where sensuality and frenzied movements make everyone want to move their shoulders without stopping, resulting in a performance full of diversity, precision and feeling.

the Folkmoot International Festival in North Carolina, U.S.A. in July in 2006; granted special recognition for the best Latin American company to participate at the cultural program of the Olympic Games in Beijing, China in 2008; and the ballet has also been recognized for its participation in the inauguration and closing events of the South American Games in Medellín, 2010.

France has vibrated on various occasions to the impetuous movements of the “Mapalé” dance, and Italy has been easily seduced by the rhythms of the “Cumbia” dance. Canada has eagerly welcomed the flirty rhythms of the Colombian pacific coast into its theaters and festivals. Mexico has attentively heard the indigenous melodies of the Colombian high plains. Last but not least, China and Japan have experienced the sublime ritual of the “San Agustín” dance.

Other countries like Spain, Belgium, Holland, Chile, Peru, and the United States have also discovered a creative, exuberant and multi-cultural Colombia. The Ballet Folklórico de Antioquia, Colombia transmits its expressiveness, energy, and love for dance in every stage they visit.

Twenty years have passed since the dream of one man, Albeiro Roldán Penagos, began to be realized in the city of Medellín. The day-to-day consistency and vision of the future have given shape to this artistic project that was born to be part of the world’s heritage.

We welcome you into our dream.For more information, please visit
