Ok, Malambo is easy after all. Imagine a 2/4 (2 quarter-notes per measure), put a dotted 8th note and a 16th in the first beat, and then an 8th note and two 16ths in the second beat. For the second measure, put just two quarter-notes, and repeat to the infinite. Mark the rythm with guitar and BOMBO. Malambo is for a single male dancer, so ladies just sit down and look.
Get a pair of really good boots, brown or black with silver spurs, your baggy pants, red bandana and black vest, gaucho hat. Get some red wine. Now make a big step with your right foot, drag your left and stamp both violently on floor, jump a feet or two and land in one foot and immediately the other, then twist both ankles and stamp both feet on the floor, jump on one foot, twist the other and hit the floor with your knife, then the other side, cross feet and twist ankles and drag the knife, then jump and get your BOLEADORAS(*) and hit the floor avoiding to hit someone's head or yours, finally make a 3-feet jump with legs widely spread appart, and try to land on both feet with a loud scream, as rudely as you can.
* BOLEADORAS: primitive weapon made with two or three round pieces of stone wrapped in soft leather, tied up with a leather rope of about 6 feet. Guaranteed to throw down a big animal or christian at 50 yards. Lethal when applied to head. Don't use them with less than half a gallon of blood in the alcoholic circulatory system. :)))
