Belgrade Tango Quinteto
The Beltango quinteto was founded in 1998 with the objective to introduce to the
music lovers the culture and music of Tango.
Depending on the possibilities and requirements of a specific stage, the ensemble
“Beltango” is equally successful in performing on large concert podiums, theater
stages , smaller chamber rooms, jazz and tango clubs, as well as in other exclusive
halls, where, the spirit of Buenos Aires revives.
In its public performances, the ensemble “Beltango” is trying to present to the
audience all abundance of the tango repertoire, so that, apart from traditional tango
numbers, as well as compositions of tango-nuevo trend of Astor Piazzolla, it
includes also new compositions of contemporary authors who find their inspiration
in tango, but all in adhering to its basic idea, they do not hesitate to make small
excursions to some other musical trends, specially to Balkan music, and combine
them with tango.
Beltango already performed at many international festivals with great success and
collaborate with many famous tango artists from all over the world - Argentina,
Sweden, Italy, Germany, Greece, Japan, France, Russia, Finland, Bulgaria, Hungary,
Slovenia, Bosnia, Macedonia.
