Of the many amazing bands from Buenos Aires, this one really stands out: the ten-strong Orquesta Típica El Afronte transfers the dancing spirit of tango to the present day, and brings all its shades and nuances – from ecstasy and melancholy – to the stage.

This is an orchestra that now causes a sensation all the way from Sweden to Columbia.
