Maurizio Cazzati's Ciaccona Performed by L'Arpeggiata, Directed by Christina Pluhar

Chaconne was perhaps the first Latin American dance craze to take over Europe, and, in my opinion, far superior to the Macarena, which I had the misfortune of being exposed to a few years before most of the world in 1993, living as I was in Chile. Five years later I would witness a surreal performance of the dance by the female staff members of a Shanghai bowling alley.
