Quinteto Tango Extremo's music is influenced by Tango (obviously.!), Jazz, Brasil and Classical Music. We love to experiment and improvise..
QTE has it's own, very specific sound.
A very-not-standard orchestra with five very-not-standard musicians.. Come and see for yourself!
Performing an amazingly rich beautiful musical duel, Quinteto Tango Extremo
has touched the hearts of many around the world. The young violinist Tanya
Schaap has been performing with an unusual but captivating occupation,
regarding the accordion and soprano saxophone.
Passionate violin and soprano 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. Quinteto Tango
Extremo shows that tango means living, means dancing, means shadow sides in the sun. Tango, the game of hide and seek. Of distrust and believing.
By expressing the changing emotions of every day life, the five
musicians guide you to your heart and prove that within human duality
harmony can be found.
Besides being well known at all Dutch stages, QTE has toured many countries already: Spain, Italy, Belgium, France, UK, Turkey, Kurdistan, Mexico and South Korea. Upcoming: Croatia and tour Argentina.
Quotes
Im impressed. A c.d. thats rock solid. Ill definitely be in line at the box office for their next concert 'Cor Glorie, La Cadena'
Even though QTE may sound atrocious in the ears of a tango-purist, it works well... extremely well.. 'Richard Stekelenburg, Haarlems Dagblad'
A c.d. of Quinteto Tango Extremo would be a worthy addition to your contemporary Tangoband Collection. 'El Once Tango News'

Hay que tener mucho cuidado cuando se cierran los ojos y sobre todo de noche. El día es la luz el apogeo que despierta el gallo. La noche el primer miedo del hombre, la que borró el espejo de las rocas donde el bisonte iba a caer atrapado, la que inventó el radar de los murciélagos, el rocío que envuelve las uvas, esas gotas de vino que bebe la tierra. Todas las noches no sabemos si será el día siguiente. Javier Villafañe
