Information/Bio:

Colectivo29 are a vibrant, adventurous quintet
featuring some of Australia's finest musicians. A
variation on the classic Nuevo Tango quintet,
Colectivo29 take the timeless music of Buenos
Aires and give it a sound distinctively from
Melbourne.

Stunning arrangements of classic Tango repertoire,
lesser known compositions from Argentinian
maestros and original themes all combine producing
a post-Piazzolla, post-2001 economic crash
mix of passionate and intense music. Colectivo29
combine searing strings, rhythmic Accordion and
shimmering piano to produce a captivating blend
of lyrical and danceable music.

Colectivo29 pay homage to the dark dramas
played out by Osvaldo Pugliese and the rhythmic
virtuosity of Horacio Salgan. The music that has
inspired generations to the passionate close
embrace will melt your heart and move your feet.

Past performances: Czech House Milonga, Open Studio Northcote, Paris Cat Jazz Club, Wangaratta Jazz festival, European Chamber Orchestras, Festivals in Argentina......
