We are always arranging and learning new music, however here is some of our most familiar repertoire.
Zigatango specialises in Tango music – especially by the great Argentinean composer Astor Piazzolla – as well as traditional Gypsy and folk music.

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.
