CUARTETO MULENGA (Buenos Aires)
The Cuarteto Mulenga, with its singer Maximiliano Agüero, is one of the most outstanding “dance formations” within the current panorama of Argentine tango. His style recalls that of the great orchestras of the golden age of the 40s and 50s, and adapts perfectly to the dancers, distributing their repertoire in successive and very well selected tango, milonga and waltz “tandas”. At the moment, aside from being recently declared an orchestra of “national cultural interest”, Cuarteto Mulenga is one of the favorite tango bands at the main milongas of Buenos Aires and other localities in Argentina.
This will be their second European tour, which will take them to multiple countries, among them – and for the first time on the occasion of our festival Tangodouro- also to Portugal.
