Uniting sensuality and passion, virtuosity and musicality, Norteño electrifies its audiences by its outstanding performances. Norteño (meaning “people of the north” in Spanish) inhabits the turbulent universe of “tango nuevo” (new tango), a genre created by the great Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992). This passionate music, which is derived from classical and contemporary music, with influences of jazz and traditional tango, leaves nobody indifferent! Norteño’s repertoire consists of works by Piazzolla, in their original instrumentation, as well as compositions by Pierre-Paul Provencher, bandoneonist in the ensemble.
