As Ginastera described it, "something like a sublimated malambo," this is a powerful yet playful work. Along with the indication "martellato" (with a hammering touch), the sections where the time signatures change dizzyingly between 6/8, 5/8, 3/4, and 7/8 are as if various phantoms of gauchos are being shown without a moment's respite. In the subsequent coda, the tempo further accelerates, and it is brimming with percussive energy. By incorporating the rhythm of Milonga Pampeana (a combination of 3+3+2) within the Malambo rhythm, the work draws the audience into the experience of gauchos galloping across the pampas.
