The Mendoza Tango Quintet has quickly gained a reputation as one of Australia’s leading tango exponents. The group is made up of five fiery, Australia-based musicians specializing in the performance of traditional Argentinian tango music.
Featuring the quintessential ferocity of the bandoneon and the velvety voice of Solange Lipcin (Buenos Aires), the Mendoza Tango Quintet will take you on a journey from the elegant dance halls to the underground tango clubs of Buenos Aires. Delving deep into this rich tradition, the ensemble delivers an impassioned and gutsy performance without the clichés. Spanning the traditional dance music of the 1930s, the avant-garde of the 1970s, and the music of the 21st century, tango’s rich history is unraveled and brought to life.
