Lead by Argentinian producer/musician Gustavo Santaolalla, Bajofondo Tango Club has been hailed for performing a massive leap forward in tango music. The group combines virtuoso performances on bandoneon, violin and voice with a giant video screen and live electronica in order to take tango resolutely into the new century. Bajofondo won a gold record in Argentina and was a winner of a Gardel Award in 2002 (the Argentine equivalent of the Grammys, appropriately named after the great tango singer). Bajofondo is a 21st century tango group led by Gustavo Santaolalla, the double Oscar-winning composer who wrote the film scores for Babel and Brokeback Mountain, and is the Director of the forthcoming Café de los Maestros tango film. In this concert, Bajofondo pits his skill against the extraordinary talent of Daniel Melingo and his band, in their UK debut performance.
