Redwood Tango Ensemble & Trio Zincalo

The Red Poppy Art House is pleased to announce a special line-up featuring two groups of top-notch tango innovators, The Redwood Tango Ensemble and Trio Zincalo. The Redwood Tango Ensemble is one of the Bay Area’s busiest tango ensembles, renowned among the dance community for their live performances at milongas (tango dance parties) and concerts. This all-star quintet’s sound ranges from traditional tango of the 40’s and 50’s to original compositions and compelling instrumentation from the more modern tango work of Piazzolla, Sexteto Mayor, New Tango Orquesta and other nuevo-tango from around the world. Redwood Tango has toured the US and Canada extensively in support of their new album Cayetano (2013).

Trio Zincalo transports listeners to a dimly-lit Parisian cafe with their vibrant mix of gypsy jazz, tango, Brazilian choro, and eastern European music. The group specializes in novel and unexpected arrangements of both traditional and popular songs from around the world.
