Astor Piazzolla was the foremost composer of tango music, who carried the signature sound of Argentina to clubs and concert halls around the world. After establishing the tango nuevo in the 1950s, he formed the seminal Quinteto Tango Nuevo, featuring the bandoneon alongside violin, guitar, piano, and bass. Such formation, he believed, represented an ideal reduced yet balanced orchestra.
