Hoop hoop, also known as “aro, aro, aro”, it is a set of words that are exclaimed before reciting a verse or a couplet of a humorous, funny and even romantic character during a dance or recital.
According to its etymology, the expression “aro-aro” comes from the Mapuche expression “people of the land”, although some experts also point out that it may derive from the word “mapudungun” whose meaning is “with permission”.
This scream or blow that gives rise to the interruption of the dance and the music (generally in dances such as the cueca, the cat, the Argentine ranchera and the Pampean polka), is made manifest by means of a verse with a funny or humorous charge. It is even used to open a space for a toast..
The "aro-aro" is a cultural expression that is also widespread in the rest of Latin America but is known as "bomba" and / or "relations".
