Amores Tangos brings a unique and refreshing vision of Río de la Plata music, blending tango with Latin American music, jazz, cumbia, and Balkan influences, while leaving room for improvisation and play. An Amores Tangos show is a celebration with a carnival spirit, lived intensely both on and off the stage, where joy and a strong sense of communion between the musicians and the audience stand out.
The group is made up of:
Jose Teixidó – guitar and musical direction
Juan Tarsia – piano
Nicolás Perrone – bandoneón
Augusto Argañaraz – percussion
They also feature guest musicians and singers such as Leandro “Negro” Falótico, Hernán “Cucuza” Castiello, among others.
