Festival Balagan
Festival Balagan is Enchufle, one clap, Enchufle Doble, two claps, and Enchufle “triple”, then three claps. Some groups call the triple an Enchufle Complicado, but it’s not like the one we do.

- Notes
- For the leader the tough part here is clapping after the enchufle “triple” because you somehow have to clap AND get your hand on the follower’s back in one count. It helps a little to “wash” your hands by brushing them up and down instead of straight clapping - it’s a smidge softer, but faster.
