The Quinteto Emedea began back in 2015. It is the result of the collaboration of five passionate musicians who share a common ambition: to rediscover and explore the music of the great Astor Piazzolla. 

A man of extremes, an insatiable creator, Astor Piazzolla was at the origin of a Revolution by creating the "Tango Nuevo", profoundly renewing the genre and Creating a new music, at the crossroads between Tango, jazz and classical music. 

Considered a musical milestone, the immense body of work of the master of Tango Nuevo, is often unexplored and circumscribed to just a few commonplace standards. Emedea strives to give a new life to the little-known corners of his works, the rarely interpreted repertoire, the hidden gems. Taking as a starting point the repertoire of two different periods of the emblematic "Quinteto Nuevo Tango" (1960-73, 1979-89), Emedea took upon the task to reconstruct the arrangements in their original writing and orchestration form, for which in most cases the sole remains were the studio recordings. 

The quintet undertakes the interpretation of Piazzolla's music to convey all its richness: the elegance of his writing as much as his more primal traits, the novelty of his musical language and its traditional dimension, his aspiration to erudite music and the deep-rooted tradition of Argentine music.
