The most renowned, most sophisticated, tango orchestra in the world!

Since 1973 the members of Sexteto Mayor have been worldwide ambassadors of tango.

They have been prominently featured on huge tango shows such as "Tango Argentino" and "Tango Pasión", emerging as one of the most respected and best-loved traditional tango ensembles - sexteto típica-style featuring two bandoneons, two violins, piano and double-bass - for the sextet format that Julio De Caro established for Argentinean tango orchestration in 1924 is the one reclaimed by Sexteto Mayor.

Sexteto Mayor's brilliant bandeonduo, José Libertella and Luis Stazo, both began their careers working with the legendary Astor Piazzola. However, where Piazzolla and his Tango Nuevo started to become more influenced by jazz, Sexteto Mayor continued to develop the traditional tango. For their adept, masterful quality and originality they won the prestigous ”Latin Grammy Award” in 2003.

Not only does their repertoire incorporates the complete century-long history of the music, their classical arrangements are played today by tango muscians the world over!
