El Ultimo Tango

Un Ultimo Tango is a chamber group located in Birmingham, Britain, that specializes in the music of Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla. Originally members of the town of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, they arranged in 2002 to be able to play a celebration that offered as an observance from the 10th wedding anniversary of Piazzolla’s loss of life in 1992. The original concert was therefore well received that they made a decision to press on, and released their initial recording, Un Ultimo Tango Has Astor Piazolla, over the British Somm label in 2005. The group includes Nicholas Bricht on flute, Tag O’Brien on saxophones, Eduardo Vassallo on cello, Fred Lezama Thomas on piano, and Tag Goodchild on dual bass. They also have concertized in the U.K. with German-Argentine vocalist Lloica Czackis.
