Mala Pinta is born of a collective fascination with the tango music of Argentina. The group started in 2003 playing mostly traditional tangos but quickly progressed to performing concerts and milongas in the tango circuits of Europe.
For their new album "TravesÃa" they have branched out into the more contemporary side of tango music playing composers like Beytelmann, Schwarz, Mederos and Piazzolla plus a few contemporary arrangements of their own.
Mala Pinta aims to demystify and to open up a new path to those who have not had the opportunity to discover tango music. It is the music of the city, filled with all the energy and emotions that burn in the heart of all heaving capitals.
Tango expresses what it is to be human, all the joys and all the sorrows. It is through this common ground of collective experience that we aim to communicate how tango is as relevant for the people of Latin America as it is for those in Europe.
