The Mando is a dance-song. Its main themes are love and reports of social and political events. But its favourite theme is love, oriented towards marriage, where the lover either yearns for union with his beloved, achieves that union, or laments his failure to realise it.

As a dance, the Mando, India’s ballo nobile, was the last aristocratic social dance created anywhere, faithful to the idea of cortezia, joi and amor.
