This group of Argentinian musicians
based in Madrid, Spain, has been dedicated since
1995
to bringing the fascinating and passionate world of Tango to the listening
public.
What gives Tango Quattro and their music a unique and intriguing savour are their arrangements and instrumentation, which are urbane and modern while keeping faith with Tango´s essential roots.
With
an ideal combination of musical instruments Tango
Quattro
is
capable of interpreting a repertory which covers the entire history of
Tango, from the typical
milongas such
“El Porteñito” by A. Villoldo, first written
in 1903, to the unforgettable heritage of Carlos Gardel and Discépolo, up
to the “big city music” of Astor Piazzolla: “Estaciones Porteñas”,
“Adios, Nonino”, and
“ Milonga del Ángel”.
Tango Quattro created a polished and popular show with Tango dancers entitled “El Arte del Tango”which has been and continues to be a hit in Marbella, Santander, Lugo and Madrid.
The theatres of Madrid, Barcelona, Santander, Lugo, San Sebastian have known Tango Quattro´s performances during the last five years and this group has begun to make itself known in some of Europe´s International Festivals:
In 1998 “Mercat de Música Viva”in Vic
In 1999 Tango Quattro performed in the show “Cabaré Borges” directed by Guillermo Heras en La Casa de America
In
2000,
Tango
Quattro
shared the stage with Eduardo Falú, one of Argentine´s folkore´s living myths
in Cracow, Poland
In this same year, Tango Quattro first appeared in the Festival International in San Sebastian.
In 1996
Tango
Quattro
recorded their first CD "Fin de siglo" with such well-beloved
tangos as
"La Cumparsita", "El Porteñito", "Adios
Nonino", "Mi Buenos Aires Querido", etc.
In October of 2000 their second CD, "El Arte del Tango" came into being: a showcase for Tango Quattro´s interpretation of Piazzolla´s magic including "Las Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas".
THE
CULPRITS
|
Fabián Carbone |
 |
Our bandoneón playerPorteño to the fingertips.…so much so….that he was a student of Rodolfo Mederos in interpretation and musical arrangements.
|
 |
Ezequiel Cortabarría |
|
Also from Buenos Aires... His Professors: the soloists of the Colon Theatre of Buenos Aires, and the metropolitan heartbeats of living cities. Professor of Flute in the Conservatory of San Lorenzo de El Escorial. He
cheats on us with classical music and Flamenco
|
|
Mario Soriano |
|
Our pianist is from Córdoba (Argentina)… Piano, theory, improvisation, choral direction are what he studied in the Conservatory… but most important of all...the art of physiotherapy…. which we often need to enter the stage in good shape.
|
 |
José Luis Ferreyra |
|
Of Mendoza (Argentina).... Graduated
from the National University of Cuyo with the diploma of Double Bassist. The
other woman in his life is the world of sobbing sopranos, doomed tenors,
noble baritones and brooding basses: the world of Opera. |
|
Adrián Rodríguez |
|
|
An Argentinian Spaniard........
He´s a
specialist in the "exotic" cello, playing early music,
flamenco, rock and jazz....but above all he´s
enamoured of tango´s passion.
|
Also
Implicated
 |
Andrés Ruiz |
|
From Málaga (Spain)... A member of the Orquesta Sinfónica de Madrid and profesor of Chamber Music. In
the public eye, Andrés is a cellist who loves motorbikes, but in his own mind,
he´s a biker who plays the cello.
