/Sounds like "mah" (as in "mark") + "LOHN" (as in "loan")/
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.
“A spontaneous party broke out at Martín's place and we stayed until four in the morning.”
“Should we just show up at someone's place tonight? Tell everyone.”
