Biography

Tanghetto is a Buenos Aires-based band that focuses its material in the combination of Argentine tango with electronic music, jazz and other musical genres.

The “Tanghetto sound” is rather unique; it’s a fusion of diverse sources of inspiration, both contemporary and traditional, that converge in Buenos Aires with the bandoneon (the nostalgic and characteristic instrument of the tango). Bandoneon takes the singer’s role and is surrounded by diverse acoustic instruments and a sonic wall of synths and samplers. The band’s music has been defined as “(…) distinguished by its singular combination of simplicity, sophistication, sensibility, energy and no prejudices”.

The band’s career comprises 3 studio albums, one live DVD, various awards and nominations, including two Latin Grammy nominations in 2004 and 2005, platinum and gold album sales, tours in more than 20 countries worldwide, etc.
