Together with the great voice of Mary Gaña, the celebration will be with their particular sound and innovative tanguero, This saturday 11 May in Teatriz.

Training has made numerous tours around the world, It is acclaimed by critics and the public. His themes Morena, Milonga of puteada, Tango last love, Cinema Paradiso versions or Every time you breathe and interpretations of Libertango, Oblivion and Milonga of the Angel Astor Piazzolla, They say present at the celebration of these 20 years in Mar de Plata.

The show is performed in the context of an important agenda which then will lead to the Tango Festival in Brazil, Medellin and great performance at the Opera Theater of Buenos Aires.

"We are passing this anniversary with much happiness, with great joy, with a lot of records in our having, with many trips, many performances, very happy, much happiness for doing our music, "said guitarist, composer and arranger Esteban Morgado in a note to THE CAPITAL. And he praised his teammates noting that the quartet "have an extraordinary creative input, They are very talented and a pleasure to work with these musicians ".

He also rescued the possibility of sharing the stage and the show with Mary Grana "one of the great voices in the history of our music, She is a young woman with a wide path which gives us great pleasure to accompany.

There is a very beautiful and forth between what she sings and the music that accompanied her, There is a very nice counterpoint and will make his classics, plus some perlite, some new tangos in their repertoire, but surely they will be desperate and Caserón Song tiles among other hits ".

- What is it, its discretion, what makes the tango still maintains effective?

- The tango is still in force and more alive than ever, because many new values ​​appear, new instrumentalists, new musicians, Arrangers, new orchestras, new singers, singers, and this has much to do with the transfer to be doing, Fortunately, of our generation to the new guys. Many are teaching many years ago, many people formed and well, there are schools, conservatories who have taken good idea to teach tango, with all that this means.

the fix, writing for orchestra involves much knowledge of harmony, contrapuntal, Orchestration and fortunately this has been done and done in many, including universities, in many schools, conservatories, school of popular music of Avellaneda and in many other places where it's up to us, our generation to pass the baton and we do a lot sweetie, with much respect for the new instrumentalists, by new actors in the tango and obviously with great respect for the genre itself,

- What challenges have now compose music citizen? What inspires particularly?

- Fortunately there are many poets who are working the issue today. Today there he is not singing to El Farolito and have to see how he can sing to the internet or on Spotify, or the Whatsapp, It's hard to put that into poetry but issues that touched the tango in all eras that remain the same: existential angst, The philosophy, the loves, disagreements, items, deception and so many situations that make a song saying.

Of course it is not only the tango who deals with these issues, which they are ultimately the problems of life, but the tango does so with a poetic, with a particular poetry, There have been very great poets and fortunately there are now many young people and not so young, but you are writing new poems that take tango and I think this is what makes it effective.

It has always been a social content in many tangos, for example, Poetry Discépolo, There have been tangos humoristic, There have been philosophical tangos, love and many other things. And even today it is still happening.

- How do you think is, today, dialogue between tango and other musical genres?

- I believe that dialogue between tango and other genres is given by the initiative of artists, in my case I like to bring my music that they are not original to the tango as a conspiratorial wink with people listening to a 'milonguiadita' version of Blackbird or a tango version of the music of Cinema Paradiso.

On all discs or all of the materials that we prepare every year with the quartet always they appear topics that are not tangueros, and I think this refreshes the genre and also gives another flight.

They are also gateways for guys who start dancing and suddenly come to dance tango from an array of issues Queen as tango or Sting and finish me dancing tango with the orchestra of D'Arienzo and this seems this good, are gateways to gender.

Gender is fortunately very broad and allows plenty of expressions, I think there is an ideological position or a mandate to say we must become related or have to merge with other genres, This occurs on the initiative of the musicians we do and I think this good to do.
