Over het album

01 La Cumparsita

This piece is customarily played at the very end of a milonga and is one of the most famous pieces in tango repertoire! There are approximately 994,884,578 existing versions! “La Cumparsita always takes me back to my first visit to Buenos Aires. To a then 13-year-old aspiring bandoneon player, experiencing a live performance of La Cumparsita by a full orquesta típica made a lasting impression!“ Andreas

“It is THE quintessence of tango. But the music can‘t be reduced to a trope!“ Martin

11 Si Sos Brujo

“I like that Francini was a classical violinist in a symphony orchestra, which I can personally relate to. Most notably, he died on stage during one of his Tango performances. Thankfully I‘ve survived all my concerts thus far!“ Thomas

21 Una Vez

The 2020 pandemic has put a temporary stop to our collaboration with our dear Argentinian friend Leonel Capitano. Thanks to the wonders of technology, this recording has been fed to your living room from two different continents!
