Our Music
Zigatango specialises in Tango music – especially by the great Argentinean composer Astor Piazzolla – as well as traditional Gypsy and folk music.
We have also explored other genres even with the occasional foray into 70's rock!
Album
This album is Zigatango's first, and features some of the music the band plays most often. In spite of the not insignificant geographical separation of South America and Eastern Europe, their respective musical styles have much in common: both have a basis in dance or in lively folk songs, and feature a burning intensity of emotion, often combined with a wild, almost demonic energy. It was because of these qualities that we decided to perform (and eventually record) the two styles together.
Repertoire
We are always arranging and learning new music, however we play mostly Argentinean tango and gypsy melodies. We also play some more folky numbers and other world songs.
