VIOLENTANGO

A revolutionary new concept for tango arrives this summer with the sensational new act from Buenos Aires. VIOLENTANGO are a five-piece instrumental band from Argentina currently taking South America by storm with an exciting rock-influenced tango defining a revolutionary new chapter for contemporary tango music.

A new album “Escape” will be presented on a forthcoming U.K Tour. This fifth independent album commands a definitive release from the constraints of conventional tango music, revealing an exciting outlet of expression and the liberation of an alternative form. This discovery of innovative arrangements proclaims the emergence of a new genre. Recorded at ION, the premier studio of Buenos Aires, Produced by Jorge “Portuguese” Da Silva.

Since their last visit to the UK performing at The Band Stand at Glastonbury Festival in 2011, Violentango has enjoyed a massive surge in popularity upon their return home to Argentina and suddenly find themselves sharing the stages with Buena Vista Social Club, Gilberto Gil, Chris Porter, Os Mutantes and Roy Hargrove. This revolutionary sound is becoming a sensation and hailed as the first Argentinean “modern tango” group, declared as of ‘significant cultural interest’ by the Ministry of Culture in Argentina, Violentango currently performs for audiences of 20,000 people in South America.
