Tanghetto

Tanghetto is an Argentinian band led by Max Masri and Diego S. Velázquez formed in 2001. Their music is blend of nuevo tango of Buenos Aires - style initiated by Astor Piazzolla and electronic music.
Max Masri is one of the last disciples of the legendary tango composer Virgilio Expósito.
