About Me

Quinteto Tango Extremo
Performing an amazingly rich beautiful musical duel, Quinteto Tango Extremo has touched the hearts of many around the world. The young violinist Tanya Schaap has been performing with an unusual but captivating occupation, regarding the accordion and soprano saxophone.
Passionate violin and soprano parties make you feel like you're the main character in your own play. What makes it surprisingly fresh and even more captivating, is the blending of the sensuous tango music with funky jazz, touching classical music and energetic Brazilian elements. Quinteto Tango Extremo shows that tango means living, means dancing, means shadow sides in the sun. Tango, the game of hide and seek. Of distrust and believing.
By expressing the changing emotions of every day life, the five enthousiastic musicians guide you to your heart and prove that within human duality harmony can be found. Five, the harmonious number in nature. Quinteto Tango Extremo has proved once more that the natural way is beautiful!
QTE has toured many countries in their -still short- existence: Spain, Italy, Belgium, France, UK, Turkey, and Kurdistan, upcoming: tour Italy, tour Argentina and tour Mexico.

Even though QTE may sound atrocious in the ears of a tango-purist, it works well... extremely well..

A c.d. of Quinteto Tango Extremo would be a worthy addition to your contemporary Tangoband Collection.
