Live Music:

SOLO TANGO ORQUESTA (RU) This orchestra was an essential part of the earliest years of the festival, and they are now returning to Helsinki for the rst time since 2015. If you have not experienced Saturday night at Tango Frostbite with

Solo Tango yet, you are in for a treat! You will be blown away by the energy, virtuosity and contagious sense of fun displayed by this quartet from Moscow - and you will dance!

25 Solo Tango Orquesta, founded in 2010, has gained international recognition incredibly rapidly and is the only European Tango Orchestra that has been nominated for the rst international “Premios Tango” awards (Buenos Aires / March 2018). They have performed in the best concert halls of the world, including the Berlin Philharmonic, the Big Hall of the Moscow conservatory, the Thaikovsky concert hall, Seoul National Theater, and others.

The sound of this band can be described as one with a perfect sense of style, powerful energy and high quality of performance. Their repertoire includes complex Tango songs that sound great at major concert halls, and also the best Tangos of the “Golden Age”, which makes them convenient and comfortable to dance to at the Milongas.

Don't make other plans for these dates!
