Tango Mood:
Conscious of the roots of tango music, echoing the sad melodies of the European immigrant and the furious rhythms of the Indigenous and African slave populations of late 18th century in Argentina and Uruguay, this ensemble was born to build cultural bridges between urban sophistication and tribal power, between the unresolved past and the unknown future, between South America and Australia.

They play music from el Rio de la plata. Their set list has been also transforming through the years, folk music from Argentina, tango and candombe, including elements of jazz. They now play Piazzolla, Cuchi Leguizamon, Hugo Fattoruso, Charlo, and much more, including original pieces.

The whole group enchants its audience with a powerful bilingual performance loaded with music, dance, stories, rhythms, and emotions inherited from their different cultures.
