The Barons of Tang

In their own words, The Barons of Tang describe themselves as "gypsy deathcore." Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, they take the best from gypsy, and add a slightly heavier edge to it. Vocals are kept to a minimum, allowing the raw energy of the instruments to pull the listener into a crazy trance fuelled by catchy beats and hanging on delicious melodies.

Zingaros

La música de Zíngaros es sensible, descriptiva.
Evoca con acordes y sonidos las vivencias de gitanos de Europa del Este, con tonos que emigran del tango argentino.
En octubre de 2004, presentaron su primer C.D “Ojos negros” compuesto por melodías folklóricas rusas y gitanas de Europa del Este. Cantadas en romaní y ruso, o sólo instrumentales, las melodías de su colorido repertorio se transforman en verdaderas historias que recortan tradiciones y escenarios gitanos: mañanas de primavera, rondas en torno al fuego, noches de frío, viento, bailes, amores, sueños.

Tanghetto

Tanghetto is a Buenos Aires-based band that focuses its material in the combination of Argentine tango with electronic music, jazz and other musical genres. The “Tanghetto sound” is rather unique; it's a fusion of diverse sources of inspiration, both contemporary and traditional, that converge in Buenos Aires with the bandoneon (the nostalgic and characteristic instrument of the tango). Bandoneon takes the singer's role and is surrounded by diverse acoustic instruments and a sonic wall of synths and samplers.

Astillero

Astillero Tango opens the challenge with its music. The sound of Astillero is forceful, vertiginous, breathtaking, raw yet sophisticated: a rollercoaster ride of throbbing accents modulating into earth-shattering pianissimos and beyond. Yet this wild sound is entirely hand-made, free of any gimmicks, 100% acoustic: the sound of just wood and strings, brought to searing life by an acute sense for translating the experience of 21st century urban life into new music, built on a solid traditional foundation of Buenos Aires' tango.
