ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
The ascent to a new pinnacle in tango music evolution began when Pablo Estigarribia, a classically trained virtuoso pianist, discovered tango in 2005. A native of Argentina, he is privileged to have studied, composed, arranged, and performed with legendary figures such as Emilio Balcarce, Horacio Cabarcos, Maria Graña, and Victor Lavallen. Estigarribia was awarded the prestigious Gardel Prize in 2015 for Best Tango Recording by a New Artist and is widely recognized as one of the best tango musicians of his generation.
Born on the French Riviera in Switzerland, Adrian Jost first studied the accordion and bayan with the country’s best teachers until coming to the U.S. to pursue his master’s degree at Northwestern University. It was there that Jost discovered Argentine tango and started the transition to the iconic bandoneon. In 2001, he co-founded Trio Garufa, a popular San Francisco-based tango group that enthralled audiences in the U.S., Europe, Argentina, Colombia, and Canada.
