34/2024 - Classic milongas from modern orchestras? Sexteto Cristal shows how!

Sexteto Cristal is a Hamburg (Germany) based sextet that has played live in several tango festivals and they have at least two albums available in digital format.

Driven by the passion and longing of tangueros for the timeless, danceable "classics," the sextet found its initial inspiration and guiding vision in the masterpieces of the past. I personally appreciate traditional arrangements and like when you can hear echoes of the original sounds from a variety of iconic orchestras. Their interpretations capture the intricate melodic phrasing, emotional intensity, and vibrant rhythms that defined tango’s golden age, transporting listeners to an era where this music reigned supreme.
