Juan Villarreal & Emiliano Messiez
We are absolutely thrilled to present something very special on this tour... after their extraordinary duo concert during the 2024 Philadelphia Tango Festival, Juan Villarreal & Emiliano Messiez will be recording an album in February 2025, produced by Bochinche Records (the record label of the Philadelphia Tango Festival). They have invited our tour to be present with them in the studio to listen and observe. This is SO EXCITING!
Tipica Messiez
Típica Messiez is a 10-piece Tango Orchestra comprised of renowned tango musicians. Under the musical direction of its founder and pianist, Emiliano Messiez, Típica Messiez plays both original and classic tango arrangements.
​
The Típica Messiez launched at the Philadelphia Tango Festival in 2019 to a sold-out audience, and has gone on to perform in the U.S. and Argentina to great acclaim. In 2023, the Philadelphia Tango Festival’s Bochinche Records produced the first album by Típica Messiez, Psicoporteño, which has been extremely well-received. Professional dancers worldwide have chosen to perform its music, since its release in June 2023.
​
For the 3rd year in a row, the Tipica Messiez will perform at Milonga Parakultural in the historic El Marabu salon during the tour, a performance that is made possible by the tour.
​
Ignacio Ondartz & Meredith Klein will perform, their first performance since Ignacio's devastating stroke in March 2024.​​
Hugo will be our host at his amazing "Casa Azul," an idyllic house / venue on the delta in Tigre, which is only accessible by boat.
Hugo Satorre & Emiliano Faryna
The Duo “Los Suplentes”, composed by Emiliano Faryna and Hugo Satorre, hits the dancefloors in 2017 with a milonga proposal with their own arrangements. Their goal is to adapt the characteristic sound of the orchestras of the forties to the bandoneon and guitar duo format. Currently the repertoire also includes new tangos, works by Astor Piazzolla and Argentine folklore.
​
The distinctive essence of the duo is revealed in their ad hoc arrangements, devoid of sheet music, which gives free rein to improvisation and provokes a fresh and constantly renewed sound. Space permitting, they play center stage, inviting the audience to dance around them.
​
At each performance, Los Suplentes manage to transform the stage into an intimate party, winning over the milonguero audience from the very beginning.
​
They have left their mark in the most outstanding milongas of the Buenos Aires tango scene and have taken their art to more than ten European countries, with more than 250 concerts and five successful tours. The duo has participated in renowned festivals such as the Tarbes Festival in France, the “Montevideo Tango” and the In-Tango Festival in Germany.
In 2021, they released two albums, “¡A la Pista!!!” and “Nuevas Composiciones”, available in physical format and on digital platforms.
​
Currently, Los Suplentes are immersed in the creation of their next album. They have just finished a five-month tour in Europe.
​
​Emiliano Faryna and Hugo Satorre, with an extensive professional career and several awards, including a Latin Grammy nomination and the Carlos Gardel Award, continue to travel with their Argentine music, taking tango around the world.
Juan Villarreal & Patricio Crom
Juan and Patricio met on stage at the Milonga del Moran in 2010 in Buenos Aires.Patricio had come to play with his quintet "Malo Conocido" and Juan went to sing as a guest with Hernán "Cucuza" Castiello.​
Shortly afterwards they met again at the Club Atlético Fernández Fierro and decided to meet with the excuse of rehearsing some tangos, especially the tango "Marión" with which Patricio was very enthusiastic.​

​
In 2015 they released a second album called "Cinco Otoños" with milonguero classics and their own compositions.
​
In 2019 they presented "En la luna de Valencia", an album that was recorded in Valencia, Spain with guest artists such as Maestro Raúl Kiokio and the singers Nelson Scarlatto and Gavión.
