TRIO TASIS
Longtime companions, Carmela Delgado, Emilie Aridon-Kociołek, and Mathias Naon share a deep camaraderie through projects where tango is constantly reinvented. In 2023, a new adventure begins with the creation of the Trio Tasis, an intimate ensemble where the sounds of the bandoneon, piano, and violin meet in a rich and surprising dialogue.
In 2025, their first album « ...Porque sí » is released under the label Le Triton: Vieille horloge, Chants sans paroles, Kaléidoscope, Rhapsodie funèbre, Petite danse sacrale, waltzes, and tangos... These pieces swirl, sometimes grave, sometimes light, in a dance where tradition flirts with the unknown. "...Porque sí" is the pure joy of making distant universes converse, blending tango with echoes of classical music, jazz, and chanson, bringing together Schönberg and Aznavour, Piazzolla and Serrat, Stravinsky and Salgán in an enthusiastic "why not." Under the pen of composer and arranger Mathias Naon, this first album plays with tango, transforms it, questions it... and imagines it.
"While the Trio Tasis musicians are deeply rooted in tango and its intricate traditions, it is above all their passion for music that drives them. This shared pleasure, always a good guiding principle, leads these three virtuosos to explore and merge the musical worlds they love and know so well. Listening to this album, one cannot help but think of the Trio Mosalini/Beytelman/Caratini, their direct predecessors. Just as these esteemed figures seamlessly blended a Balcarce tango with a Mingus theme, without placing one aesthetic above the other, these three young musicians feed their tango from the richest sources: Jazz, French chanson, and even Stravinsky or the Viennese School. This tango absorbs and regenerates them, thanks to the magic of arrangement—a far more creative discipline than it may seem, and one entrusted to Mathias Naon, the ensemble's splendid violinist. It's important to note that this trio is not merely an assembly of soloists, but rather the collective voice of three chamber musicians who aim to play as one. With Emilie Aridon-Kociolek’s majestic piano and Carmela Delgado’s energetic, elegant bandoneon, never has contemporary tango been in such good hands."

...PORQUE SÍ (2025)
TRIO TASIS
Ancient clock, wordless songs, kaleidoscope, funeral rhapsody, little sacred dance, waltzes and tangos weave springtime circles in this …porque sí.
For the simple pleasure of invoking seemingly disparate realms such as tango, classical music, chanson, jazz, and Latin American rhythms. For the joy of it, Trio Tasis shapes these inspirations with whim, intertwining, blending, juxtaposing, or sometimes opposing them… and why not, allowing Schönberg and Aznavour, Piazzolla and Joan Manuel Serrat, Stravinsky, Salgán, Bartók, and Gobbi to converse freely at times.
It is within the exploration of these musical laboratories, and under the pen of composer and arranger Mathias Naon, that this debut opus emerges, at the confluence of tradition and innovation.
