It was formed in the city of Buenos Aires as a result of the request of the singer Rubén LLaneza in 2015 to record an album accompanied by the classic format of three guitars and a guitarrón. With arrangements and direction by Alejo de los Reyes, as a quartet, the group recorded the album “Transpirando tangos” accompanying Llaneza, and in 2017 “Tus besos fueron míos”, debut album by singer Paula Serrano. A year later, the double bass is added thus leading to the current formation of quintet.
The quintet’s repertoire includes arrangements of classic tango and Argentine folklore pieces, as well as compositions by Alejo de los Reyes. The members of the quintet alternate, covering the needs of each arrangement, creating a varied palette of sonorities among the guitars, the guitarrón and the double bass. In the concerts the female voice of Paula Serrano and the male voice of Rodrigo Perelsztein also alternate.
The group has performed at important venues in Argentina and on several occasions has participated in the Buenos Aires tango festival. Their musical work is aimed at preserving the roots of Argentine music with a typical formation based on the guitars and to contribute to this repertoire with new compositions.
