Malón
A spontaneous, unannounced gathering at someone's house where a large crowd just shows up with no prior warning. In Argentina, a malón is both exciting and slightly anarchic: it just happens, people appear, and suddenly there is a party that goes until morning. The name comes from the surprise raids of indigenous Pampas peoples, same idea of sudden mass arrival.
