The musical style of 676 Nuevoango verges on the exciting border between jazz and tango. The ensemble's repertoire is as far-reaching as the musical heritage of its members. The main emphasis is on their own compositions and those of Astor Piazzolla. The input of each outstanding musician of 676 is inspired by his own musical background. Through a concentrated and close work together, the group has developed a new and unique style which moves and captivates audiences.
 
The name of the ensemble is a declaration of
intent. It refers also to 'Tucuman 676', the famous
Buenos Aires club of the early sixties. This was
where all the big names of jazz, tango and bossa
nova congregated and sought inspiration from
one another. The establishment's intimate
atmosphere sparked off a lively musical tradition.

 

676 NuevoTango leads on from this tradition. Consisting of a group of musicians led by founder Daniel Zisman, the interpretations of this young ensemble embody the richness of a wide variety of styles. Jazz and classical music unite, alongside close musical and personal ties with Buenos Aires, to emerge as a very special and individual expierience.

                                              

There is an immediate rapport between the musicians and the public. This is only possible in an intimate setting where this unique dialogue can be appreciated in its original form. Here the tango resounds as a truly lively, modern – and authentic – art form.
