Daniel Melingo, often known simply as Melingo, is a multifaceted artist whose career spans several decades and genres, from rock and reggae to his most deeply explored territory: tango. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1957, Melingo's musical journey began in the early 1980s as part of the burgeoning rock nacional scene in Argentina. His eclectic approach soon saw him venturing into various musical styles, including a significant stint with reggae and rock bands. However, it was his immersion into the world of tango in the late 1990s and early 2000s that established his reputation as a unique and innovative voice in the genre.

Melingo's approach to tango music is characterized by a deep reverence for its traditions coupled with a keen desire to bring the genre into the contemporary era. His gravelly voice and bohemian persona have made him a compelling figure within the world of modern tango. Albums like "Tangos Bajos" showcase his ability to infuse classic tango rhythms with elements of jazz, rock, and electronic music, creating a sound that is distinctly his own. His recent releases, including remixes and collaborations, demonstrate his ongoing experimentation and evolution as an artist. Melingo's work is a testament not only to his personal creativity but also to the enduring ability of tango music to adapt and thrive in new contexts.
