Music & Dance of Argentina & Uruguay - TANGO!
All ages show
Trio Garufa is considered one of the most versatile contemporary interpreters of Argentine Tango, mixing a deep respect for tango's Golden Era with the innovation of the modern Nuevo Tango movement. Their music is powerful, passionate, and always danceable.
They have performed across Argentina, Canada and the US (Including a recent performance in Chicago Symphony Hall). Trio Garufa performs Classic Argentine Tangos from the golden era (30's- 50's) as well as Argentine Folkloric Music (Chacarera, Zamba, Guarania, Gato, Chamamé) and modern Tangos from Piazzolla as well as Electro-Tango and their original compositions. Their music is exciting, virtuosic, and rooted in the dance. They are the only Tango ensemble in the US to have performed extensively in the Milongas (Tango Dance Clubs) of Buenos Aires.

Guillermo Garcia, guitar, (Argentina)
Adrian Jost, bandoneon (Switzerland)
Sascha Jacobsen, string bass, (California)

The repertoire consists of traditional popular songs by Uruguaqyan composers such as Rubén Rada, Roberto Darvin, Jaime Roos, Los Olimareños, Alfredo Zitarrosa and more. Edgardo brings his 30 years plus experience leading the multiple recording Salsa band "Candela" into this mix creating with Walter a magnetic communion between the Afro-Caribbean and Afro Uruguayan sounds.
