About Quinteto Tango Extremo

This ensemble which is under the direction of the young violinist Tanya Schaap is not a standard Tango orchestra. The line up is unusual (with soprano saxophone), and the music is not the average tango music as we are all used to. De group uses styles which are very diverse (classical, jazz and Brazilian styles), but of course, the starting point is always Tango. Performing an amazingly rich beautiful musical duel, Tango Extremo has touched the hearts of many around the world. Passionate violin and soprano saxophone parties make you feel like you’re the main character in your own play. What makes it surprisingly fresh and even more captivating is the blending of the sensuous tango music with funky jazz, touching classical music and energetic Brazilian elements. Tango Extremo shows that tango means living, means dancing, means shadow sides in the sun. Since their still short existence since 2003 the group has played lots of Dutch venues and stages in France, Spain, Belgium, Italy, México, England, Turkey, Kurdistan, Ireland, Uruquay, Venezuela, Colombia, Equador, Aruba, Curacou, Sint Maarten, China, South Africa, Botswana, Iceland, Greenland, Denmark and South Korea . In august 2009 they were performing at the Buenos Aires Tango Festival in Argentina.
