ZUM is an Argentinian-Japanese guitar trio, specialized in the use of steel String acoustic guitars tuned to the so-called New Standard Tuning, which gives their characteristic sound a much wider sonic range. ZUM's main driving force may very well be rooted in the Argentinian tradition of the Tango, however, their diverse musical escapades serve as examples of their versatility and virtuosity. Typically, one may hear Piazzola side by side with Bartók, The Beatles or Stevie Wonder, this without losing the inner coherence and distinct identity of the group.
