Tango Orkestret is the collaboration of five young Danish musicians who, since 1989, have explored the musical universe of modern tango, turning to Astor Piazzolla and the 'new generation' in Argentinian music as a main source of inspiration. Four of these musicians were educated at the Danish Conservatory of Rhythmic Music, and guitarist Palle Windfeldt has furthermore spent three months in Argentina, studying the tango in its native surroundings as well as playing with local musicians.

Since 1998 Tango Orkestret has played with the Argentinian banoneon-player Marcelo Nisinman, who is a member of the Astor Piazzolla reunion band.
The result is a "sound" a bit abstract, in which we can find the spirit and the soul of Tango. Some material appears in original form, although it is presented in a renewed and expressive way by the great interpretation of this ensemble.

30-year-old Marcelo Nisinman is the leading Argentine musician of his generation. But he is so much more than "just" that. He is a visionary - and also the Third Man of a trilogy (Gardel-Piazzolla-Nisinman) yet to be discovered by many Tango lovers, connoisseurs and studios. After a long life of hard work and musical studies (he has been playing professionally since he was 15!!!), he is projecting a lifetime of compiled musical knowledge and experience to become a potential master arranger and composer…

It is difficult to measure, beyond any romantic speculation, the true relevance of that meeting for Astor Piazzollas development in music. But it is also impossible to ignore the fact that they did meet (Piazzolla and Nisinman), and that somehow that encounter must have made an impression on the young apprentice. With all this in mind, it seems rather natural to make a link between the two most relevant musicians in Tango history so far. And considering the fact that Astor Piazzolla and Marcelo Nisinman also met and developed a similar, yet a longer and more profound relationship (Marcelo was Piazzollas protegé at the beginning of his career), it seems inevitable to link not the two, but the three of them into one sole historical Tango Trilogy. Only time will tell if such a conclusion is right. But the wonderful arrangements and compositions on this CD (which are passionate and erotic, but also innovative and profound) seem to open an auspicious new road towards further development and exploration. And be sure that this ambitious project will find its reward and its place in history, space and time.
