La Nueva Escena en el Teatro Colón - TangoContempo's biography

Esteban Falabella, guitarist and artistic director of TangoContempo, writes, “Five years ago, a group of musicians started to walk the path of self-management to promote new tango composers and performers and share common spaces with leading artists. This brought about the production of records that make up a first-class catalogue, the creation of the Orquesta de Cuerdas Elvino Vardaro and the reunion of several generations of musicians representatives of our time in the history of tango. Today, thanks to the Tango Festival, we can present this production in the setting of our dreams: the Teatro Colón.” TangoContempo presents the Orquesta de Cuerdas Elvino Vardaro together with Nicolás Guerschberg Sexteto, Quinteto El Descarte, Quasimodo Trío, Boero-Gallardo-Gómez, Quinteto Viceversa, Cristian Zárate and Leonardo Sánchez.
