At the Tangofestival RheinRuhr, Bandonegro will perform live in both TRAD and NEO modes—making the unity of tango tangible despite all its facets:

​

Friday, 27 March 2026

Neotango Area: a NEO milonga concert with grooving textures, improvisational breath, and fresh dramaturgy—fully danceable.

 

Saturday, 28 March 2026

Grand Ballroom: concert, milonga classic, danceable sets—clear pulse, stylistic finesse, long melodic arcs for the ronda.

​

​
Bandonegro embodies our festival motto TRAD MEETS NEO like scarcely any other contemporary ensemble. The band itself is thrilled about the chance to showcase both of its passions at one event. It’s going to be unique!

​

Founded in 2010 in Poznań, the quartet—Michał Główka (bandoneon/accordion), Jakub Czechowicz (violin), Marcin Antkowiak (double bass), and Marek Dolecki (piano)—ranks among the most respected interpreters of the genre. They first made their mark in classical Argentine tango and now bring a distinct signature in contemporary sounds between Tango Nuevo, minimal, and urban energy.

​

Their repertoire builds precisely the bridge we celebrate for three days in Witten: danceable, elegant, imaginative, and full of drive. Albums such as “Hola Astor” (a homage to Piazzolla’s legacy with shades of jazz and rock) as well as “Tangostoria” and “Color Aires” show the breadth of this band—from the golden glow of tradition to today’s pulse. The new album “Tanuevo” crystallizes their commitment to Neotango.

​

Our festival’s promise: Two appearances by Bandonegro—and our community—will show that tradition and Neotango don’t compete; they make each other shine under one roof.
