Tanghetto is a Tango band from Buenos Aires, and one of the most important on the “new tango” scene - producing a mix of tango and electronic music.

Started in 2001 by producer and songwriter Max Masri and composer and instrumentalist Diego S. Velázquez, the band’s lineup includes bandoneon, violoncello, acoustic piano, acoustic guitar, electronic and acoustic drums, samplers, and synthesizers.

Their first album, Emigrante (electrotango) was released in 2003, nominated for a Latin Grammy award in 2004, and then went platinum in Argentina in 2006.

In addition to being well known for their expert balancing of electronic and ethnic sounds, I think Tanghetto’s music also features some great melodies and interesting song structures.
