The result of the initiative of these two musicians from different continents, together on this project to pay tribute to the Tango music. Influenced by the great maestros like Anibal Troilo, Roberto Grela, Horacio Salgan, Ubaldo de Lio, Astor Piazzolla, Osvaldo Pugliese, Juan Jose Mosalini, Gustavo Beytelmann, Ciro Perez and Rodolfo Mederos, among others.
