Tango Bardo busca un sonido crudo, potente y real
They would say they play more connected with the roots of tango, far from the academic vision of music. For these musicians it is paramount to create a
connection with the dancers
Dancers can experience the “mugre” and “yeites” of each instrument and the connection between them. Their repertorio can vary from tangos typical of the 20s to tango nuevos and can span from styles like Pugliese, Piazzolla, Troilo, Di Sarli o Tanturi.
The most important is the "sonoridad fresca" and the development of "un sonido personal".
