Who are Bandonegro?

Bandonegro Tango Orquesta is a four-piece Polish tango ensemble founded in 2010 in Poznań. It was founded by four friends and musicians:

Michał Główka – bandoneon

Jakub Czechowicz – violin

Marek Dolecki – piano

Marcin Antkowiak – double bass

They have developed their own distinctive style that combines traditional Argentine tango, tango nuevo, and elements of jazz. What sets them apart is that they are not only concert performers of Piazzolla’s music but also play tango intended for dancers at milongas.

Fun fact: According to Michał Główka, they knew each other as early as elementary school, and in high school they decided to play the music of Astor Piazzolla together. It was Michał who, after discovering Piazzolla’s music in 2010, came up with the idea of forming a tango ensemble.

All four were born in 1993, so they were about 17 years old when the group was founded.

Today, they are world-renowned musicians and perform all over the world as Bandonegro Orquesta. This time, they’ll be stopping by here, at a dance studio that’s still working hard to keep dance alive.

We’ll be meeting them on Sunday, November 29, at 7 p.m.; DJ TBA will be handling the music selection that evening.

This time, Bandonegro Orchestra will bring the music to life — music that doesn’t simply stay in the background, but becomes part of the dance, the space and the evening.

After three days of workshops, dancing and sharing, let’s take one more Sunday night for tango.
