TANGUARDA - a unique place where extraordinary musicianship meets with the irrepressible love for Tango - is an ensemble with the power of dynamite, which has become a symbol of uncompromising quality. It has taken its place on today’s international music scene as the top contemporary Tango ensemble. The line up of outstanding and versatile musicians who form the TANGUARDA constellation is one of its unmistakable trademarks.
The founder of the group is the pianist Maria Martinova, who is the nucleus of the ensemble. Maria’s dream to create a platform where contemporary tango fuses the rebellious spirit of Tango Nuevo with the exquisite qualities of the tradition gives birth to this ambitious project. Having dared to combine international careers in two different worlds - the one of classical music and the other of Tango - Maria has gathered around her some of the most exciting and inspiring musicians of today to join her in this ensemble.
TANGUARDA has become a synonym for artistic exploration and musical inspiration of a rare quality. Amongst the exceptional musicians who have been featured in the ensemble are Marcelo Nisinman, Winfried Holzenkamp, Daniel Rowland, Cyril Garac, David Nuñez, Rafal Zambrzycki-Payne, Igor Semenoff, Matthew Midgley, Juanjo Mosalini, Victor Villena and Leonardo Teruggi.
