Bandonegro (Poland)

Bandonegro is a world-class tango orchestra and is considered one of the most fascinating and renowned bands in its genre. Bandonegro presents both traditional Argentine tango and tango nuevo, and creates its own compositions incorporating elements of jazz and classical music.

Bandonegro was founded in 2010 in Poznań, Poland, by four versatile young musicians—graduates of the music academies in Poznań and Bydgoszcz. From the very beginning, the band's goal has been to showcase the diverse facets of tango and share its beauty with a wide audience worldwide.

With their extraordinary passion for music, combined with fresh sounds, their own musical vision, and, not least, their exceptional sensitivity to tango as a dance, the Polish musicians have captured the hearts of listeners around the globe and are hailed as the best tango ensemble of the younger generation.

Tuesday 21.7.2026 10 pm - 5am Half Time Ball
Tangorra Orquesta Atípica (Argentina)

Fifteen years ago, Mikele and Fran Borra founded Tangorra. From the very beginning, their goal was to create a contemporary, modern, and urban tango. They explored new avenues, forging their own path through the sounds of German techno, learning and searching for their own profound melodies, inspired by timeless tango, the laments of the bandoneon, and the diverse elements that define its music.

On this remarkable journey, musicians, friends, and colleagues joined the band, leaving a lasting mark. Tangorra has since evolved into a band with the logic of an orchestra, thriving on collaborative creation, musical innovation, and a celebration of diversity.

Albums, national and international tours, and magnificent concerts followed, shaping a unique, profound, and melancholic style that touches the very limits of the senses—electronic and tango-inspired. Tango from the depths of the soul, with the full force of the 21st century and the current history of Buenos Aires.
