Thank you, Mario, for this one. Boleadoras are those things the gauchos of Argentina and Uruguay used to use to topple running cattle on the Pampas. They are made from dried horse or cow hide, softened with use, with a stone weight at the end. They needed a lot of practice then, and their use here would do too. The drums, called bombos, are made of hollowed out tree trunks covered in cowhide that give the bass sound on the skin, while the higher pitch is played on the edge; they are very well tuned here, by the way. The dance is called a Malambo, which also requires very deft footwork. You can see there is a connection with the footwork needed by flamenco dancers…
