The Maestros of Neo-Tango revisit "Las Orquestas Típicas" from .

Electronic grooves meet orchestral instrumentals with a twist of raw rock energy.

Elegant and Delightful. PRESS RELEASE

Tango clubs in Warsaw and , dance schools in Berlin and Madrid. Milongas in San Francisco and ….

“That’s one of the reasons we’re doing Plaza Francia Orchestra, because we see that the times are dancing to tango”, says Christoph H. Müller. “We want to make all those people dance”.

Now, Müller and Makaroff’s instinct is to go deeper, rather than sideways.

The core has been lifted from TAXXI - as in ’TA-ngo’ of the XXI i.e. 21st century - the orchestra lead by bandoneon player Pablo Gignoli.

The line up is completed by Paris-based singer Maria Muliterno, discovered by Müller & Makaroff singing Tangoes in the streets of Paris.

“They all have the spirit of tango”, Müller says, “but with more of a rock energy.” PRESS RELEASE

But tango, like rock or jazz, is a universe. You can have a tango film, a tango painting, a tango suit, a tango way of walking, a tango phrase, a tango thought.

Plaza Francia have embellished their corner of this universe with works by the famous Argentinian painter Antonio Seguí, as will guest vocals from Catherine Ringer and the Cap Verdean diva Lura, both as tango as they come.

You could even call Plaza Francia a ‘concept’, like Bootsy Collins’s Mothership - an idea that blossoms into an entire world, where creative energy, raw sophistication, passionate elegance and careless melancholy cohabit and collide.
