The Mapalé is an Afro-Colombian style of dance that was imported by slaves. It represented fishermen after a long day of work. Its name comes from the Cathorops mapale (fish) when they are out of the water. The dance moves are compared with the agility and strength of those who are performing them. The movements represent the fish out of the water (men), while the women represent the sea.
