The dark and beautiful tango music from the 60s... Sounds like us, our own stuff.. All the other music we have all played... Jazz, orchestral, improvised, Eastern European...
We are committed to exploring all the colours our Instruments have to offer, and making our own sounds using the rich Tango repertoire as a starting point
Acoustic, Live Tango Grooves... exploring and creating new Tango music with original Tango arrangements
Colectivo29 are a vibrant, adventurous quintet featuring some of Australia's finest musicians. A variation on the classic Nuevo Tango quintet, Colectivo29 take the timeless music of Buenos Aires and give it a sound distinctively from Melbourne.
New arrangements of classic Tango repertoire, lesser known compositions from Argentinian maestros and original tunes all combine producing a post-Piazzolla, post-2001 economic crash mix of passionate and intense music.
Colectivo29 pay homage to the dark dramas played out by Osvaldo Pugliese and the rhythmic virtuosity of Horacio Salgan. The music that has inspired generations to the passionate close embrace will melt your heart and move your feet.
Colectivo29 was the conception of pianist Andrew James who studied piano and Arranging in Buenos Aires with Maestro Hernan Possetti, Pianist with the City of Buenos Aires Tango Orchestra and Professor at Escuela de Música Popular de Avellaneda
.
Cellist Penelope Witt has performed and recorded in Buenos Aires with Argentmusica. She studied Tango and Folk Music with Roberto Segret from the City Tango Orchestra
