FLEET JAZZ CLUB: EL CHAMUYO TANGO QUARTET

The EL CHAMUYO quartet performs a wide sweep of Argentinian tango music, ranging from golden era of the 1920s and ’30s, through to the tango nuevo masterpieces of Piazzolla, and on to a few contemporary composers..

While respecting the tradition, El Chamuyo also takes this repertoire as a starting point for improvisation, blurring the boundaries between tango and jazz in exciting and innovative ways. Not forgetting that this music is rooted in dance, the quartet regularly performs at milongas for tango dancers as well as jazz clubs and concert venues. Most recent performances include POSK Jazz Cafe, Bracknell Jazz, Guildford Jazz Festival, Jamboree( London). The quartet will be an official tango orchestra for the Welsh Tango Nuevo Festival.

Featuring virtuoso violinist Kamila Bydlowska, jazz pianist Adam Dyer, Simon Cook on chromatic bandoneon and Juampi Mauro on double bass .
