Folk-rooted Argentine music, played by a tango quintet lineup.

I play guitar in Quinteto Bataraz, the group Lisandro Baum has led since 2013. We play folk-rooted Argentine music with a tango quintet lineup: piano, bandoneon, violin, double bass and guitar.

Our first album, Quinteto Bataraz (2014), won two Premios Gardel in 2015 and the First Prize of the Fondo Nacional de las Artes. In 2016 we played a showcase at WOMEX, in Santiago de Compostela. Then came Fiero (2017), which Billboard named among the standout albums of new tango, and the EPs Respira and Lucha.
