El Chamuyo Quartet

Golden Age Tango Meets Jazz Fire

Step into the smoky salons of 1920s Buenos Aires and journey through to the revolutionary sound world of tango nuevo in this electrifying performance by El Chamuyo Quartet.

From the passionate dancehall classics of the Golden Era to the dramatic, genre-defying masterpieces of Astor Piazzolla, the quartet brings tango’s rich history vividly to life, infused with the harmonic language, spontaneity and swing of jazz. Alongside beloved repertoire, the programme also features striking original compositions, expanding the tango tradition into fresh and unexpected territory.

Expect sultry melodies, intricate rhythms, virtuosic improvisation and music that moves both the heart and the feet.
