Orquesta Rodolfo Biagi holds a distinguished place in the pantheon of Argentine tango. Named after the legendary pianist and bandleader Rodolfo Biagi, who was affectionately known as "Manos Brujas" for his uniquely spirited and rhythmic playing style, the orchestra is a modern reincarnation that continues Biagi's legacy. The maestro, born on March 14, 1906, in Buenos Aires, began his illustrious career alongside the "King of Tango" Carlos Gardel and further established his fame with the orchestras of Juan D'Arienzo and his own ensemble that he formed in the late 1930s.

The contemporary Orquesta Rodolfo Biagi pays homage to the golden age of tango, reviving the vibrant sound that Biagi himself crafted. Their repertoire, as evidenced by their recent releases such as "Oh Mama Mia," "Triste Comedia," and "Sentimiento Gaucho," showcases the timeless and emotionally charged music that has resonated with tango enthusiasts for decades. They carefully preserve the nuances and aesthetics of the classic arrangements while infusing their performances with a sense of contemporary vitality, ensuring that Biagi's music continues to inspire and move dancers and listeners alike in the 21st century.
