Music for London - Fueye Tango-blend of tango music from the clubs of Buenos Aires

Inspired by the unique partnership between musicians and dancers, Fueye Tango creates an exhilarating blend of tango music from the clubs of Buenos Aires and provides a great mix of tunes to show the wealth and variety of Argentinian music including tangos but also milongas, waltzes and chacareras.

This UK based international trio / 4tet (bandoneon, guitar, double bass, vocals) founded by French bandoneonist Ninon Foiret also include Argentinian and English musicians. Fueye Tango has been highly sought after by tangueros in milongas (Argentinian tango dance evening) throughout the UK and in mainland Europe. They have also a repertoire of Piazzolla's music and recently performed at Salder's Wells, Covent Garden and the Royal Festival Hall alongside the Ballet Boyz, where they received great critical acclaim.

We are available as a trio bandoneon / double bass / guitar (regular formation), or as a 4tet with singer Guillermo Rozenthuler. We can also come as a duo bandoneon / guitar.
