Mariano Barreiro Tango Trío

Internationally acclaimed ensemble Mariano Barreiro Tango Trío presents the music of Astor Piazzolla and tango composers of Buenos Aires.

Tango is a late manifestation of Latin American Romanticism, a profound compositional and cultural style respected by composers and music historians around the world. From its beginning in the early 20th century Buenos Aires, to the genre-breaking mid-century compositions of Astor Piazzolla, tango developed as a truly individual musical style. Sensual, erruptive, even reckless, the music was defined by legendary composers like Piazzolla, Osvaldo Pugliese, and Anibal Troilo, creating an advanced and nuanced expression that made waves around the world.

This band features Argentinian pianist Mariano Barreiro, Oakland, California based composer and bandoneonist Charles Gorczynski and violinist Ishtar Hernandez.
