Nuevo tango
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tango nuevo or nuevo tango is a form of both dance and music in which elements of jazz and classical music were incorporated into traditional Argentine tango. The most important composer of this style is Ástor Piazzolla, who revolutionized tango by introducing new instruments (e.g. saxophone, electric guitar) and new forms of harmonic and melodic structures into the traditional tango ensemble. The dance covers all improvised (but leadable) moves possible considering the traditional base dance moves of Argentine Tango. The even more versatile "neotango" also adopts leadable elements of other dance forms like Salsa, Ceroc and Swing.
Famous names connected with this style are Gotan Project, Tanghetto, Narcotango and dancers Chicho Frumboli, Fabián Salas or Sebastián Arce.
