Cuarteto Argentino De Tango

Cuarteto Argentino de Tango was a hugely influential tango ensemble from Argentina, active for an impressive 40 years, from 1960 to 2000. They're considered one of the most important quartets in tango history, helping to spread the music's reach internationally and pushing the boundaries of the traditional tango sound. They championed Astor Piazzolla's nuevo tango style, marked by its more complex harmonies and rhythms, while also keeping the spirit of traditional tango alive in their performances. Their dedication to both preserving and innovating within the genre earned them a devoted following and cemented their place as tango legends.

Beyond their masterful performances, Cuarteto Argentino de Tango also left a rich legacy through their recordings and arrangements. They toured extensively, bringing their unique sound to audiences worldwide, and collaborated with numerous prominent musicians. Even after the passing of founding member Raúl Garello and the group's eventual disbandment, their influence continues to resonate with tango musicians and enthusiasts today.
