Bandonegro is a Polish tango quartet with an
international reach, known for their innovative style
that fuses Argentine tango, nuevo tango, jazz, and
original compositions. With a career that includes
performances in over 30 countries and at prestigious
music festivals, the band has stood out for revitalizing
the genre with a fresh, energetic sound that’s
perfect for dancing.
In 2019, they toured Buenos Aires with great
success, performing in iconic clubs, and their version
of "Gallo Ciego" was featured in the final of the
Tango World Cup. They have released five albums,
including Hola Astor, acclaimed for its bold mix of
tango, jazz, and rock. Their upcoming album,
recorded in Buenos Aires and featuring artists like
Daniel “Pipi” Piazzolla, will blend nuevo
tango, jazz, and minimal music.
The group is composed of Michał
Główka (bandoneon/accordion),
Jakub Czechowicz (violin), Marek
Dolecki (piano), and Marcin
Antkowiak (double bass).
"Tanuevo" was born after an inspiring tour in
Buenos Aires, where Bandonegro immersed
themselves in the essence of tango and gathered
material for this project. Driven by their deep
admiration for Astor Piazzolla, the band set out to
fuse the spirit of Nuevo Tango with elements of jazz
and minimal music.
Recorded at the iconic Fortmusic Studio in Buenos
Aires, the album features ten original compositions
that reflect a forward-thinking vision of tango.
Collaborating with renowned Argentine musicians,
including Pipi Piazzolla, the project blends the
classic tradition of tango with fresh new
influences.
More than just an album, "Tanuevo" is a
statement of passion and authenticity —
a musical manifesto that doesn’t just
play tango, but lives it. It pushes the
genre into new horizons,
continuing Piazzolla’s legacy
with a bold, contemporary
voice.
