ROGUE TANGO

One hundred and twenty years of Argentine Tango, Milonga, and Waltz:

this is ROGUE TANGO

Featuring Wendy Tangen-Foster on violin, Tom Lewis on bass, Joseph Strachan or Jay Stotsky on piano, and Mateo on Spanish guitar — Rogue Tango plays dance music. They are one of a handful of authentic tango bands in the United States. Their sounds are wonderful for pure listening, too!

Occasionally, we add cello, piano, bandoneon, or one of three additional violinists to the mix. One only knows for sure that the music will be world-class tango, rich, pure, exciting, and real.

Argentine tango, like flamenco, is culturally specific, boasts its own vocabulary, ornamentation, and articulation. All the players remain avid students, as well as aficionados, of this vibrant art form. Scott Mateo Davies has been an active participant in tango for more than ten years, and has recorded four CDs and numerous videos of tango of the various eras: Guardia Vieja (Old guard), Edad de Oro (Golden age), Modern, Piazzolla, Post-Piazzolla, and Tango Nuevo (New tango).
