Chamuyando bajito was formed in 2014 as a meeting point for Argentine and European artists brought together by a shared obsession: tango told from the inside. Based in Stuttgart, with one foot firmly in Buenos Aires, the project moves between continents, accents and traditions, exploring a living, contemporary approach to tango.
Their music is rooted in traditional tango and traces its evolution across the decades to the present day. The repertoire draws on the sounds of the street, neighbourhood gatherings and the pulse of the dance floor. Chamuyando bajito performs both in intimate concert settings and in milongas, where the music finds its natural place in movement.
