UkeTango

Si escuchaste hablar de Argentina sabrás, que Buenos Aires es el lugar donde nació el Tango. Hemos tocado este género musical a lo largo de nuestras carreras de diferentes maneras. Cuando el Ukulele llegó a nuestras vidas, nos sorprendió saber que sus sonidos combinan maravillosamente.

Desde entonces guardamos las guitarras y ahora viajamos livianos.

Desde 2012 dirigimos el espacio Cultural Casa Freire, donde trabajamos en la producción de distintos eventos, como los ensambles de alumnos, entre ellos Pequeña orquesta de Ukeleles y conciertos musicales. Martín editó dos libros “Un pequeño con grandes posibilidades“ y “Mi primer Ukelele” (2017 y 2018)  y Valeria  (Cuadernos de canto) bajo el sello editorial musical Ellisound. 
En 2021 fuimos finalistas del WAUF 2021 Fingerstyle China y participamos del Festival de Ukeleles de Unicef UK , Gaithersburg Ukefest (Maryland) y Ukulele Festival Hawaii (streaming). En 2022 viajaremos al Festival de Ukeleles en Denver (USA) de Swallow Hill Music.

English version

Uke Tango is a duet from Buenos Aires, Argentina. If you didn´t know, Buenos Aires is the place where the Tango was born.  We´ve played this music genre all throughout our careers in different ways. When the Ukulele came to our lives, we were surprised to learn that the sound of this instrument could match with tango beautifully.  And then, we stored the guitars and now we travel lightweight.   

About us

We’re interested in several music genres, we’ve started playing Ukelele in Tango, cause its particular sonority reminds us of the old guitars of the earliest formations (“Guardia Vieja” movement) that used to accompany Carlos Gardel, among others. Besides, because of the versatility of the instrument, we can perform from old tangos or waltzes to the works of Astor Piazzolla (another great referent of our city music).
