| Tango | We play traditional as well as Nuevo Tango style music. Nuevo Tango, also called New Tango, Fusion Tango. Nuevo Tango is a form of music, which was born as elements of jazz and classical music were incorporated into traditional Argentinian tango. The most important composer of this style is Astor Piazzolla, who revolutionized tango by introducing new instruments (e.g. Saxophone, electric guitar) and new forms of harmonic and melodic structures into the traditional tango ensemble. Also, nuevo tango allows for a more relaxed dance frame than traditional Tango.
