Malevo consists of a group of eight men from Buenos Aires, Argentina. They like to consider themselves the "Magic Mikes" of Argentina. The members grew up in poverty, some with no electricity and power. To make ends meet, the members have jobs such as carpentry, construction, and gas attendance. Most of the team have known each other since they were little kids.
Audition
Malevo's audition in Episode 1102 consisted of performing a rhythmic Malambo routine with tap dancing in gaucho's boots, beating drums, and whirling boleadoras rhythmically. Howie Mandel, Mel B, Heidi Klum, and Simon Cowell all voted "Yes," sending the group to the Judge Cuts.
Malevo's Judge Cuts performance in Episode 1109 consisted of performing a rhythmic Malambo routine to the tune of Marilyn Manson's "The Beautiful People", beating drums in a horizontal line, whuiling boleadoras up and down ramps, tap dancing in gaucho's boots, and whirling flaming and glowing boleadoras. Howie Mandel, Mel B, George Lopez, and Heidi Klum gave the group standing ovations. Impressed by the performance, guest judge George Lopez pressed his Golden Buzzer for Malevo, sending the group straight to the Quarterfinals.
