Villu Veski & Tiit Kalluste Tango Sextet – Passionate and Timeless Tango in Narva-Jõesuu
At the Narva-Jõesuu Jazz Festival, Villu Veski and Tiit Kalluste Tango Sextet will take the audience on a journey where passionate tango meets Nordic elegance. Their music is deeply inspired by the authentic rhythms of Argentina, yet it reflects a unique and personal approach to this captivating genre.
The story of the Tango Sextet took on a new dimension when Veski and Kalluste traveled to Buenos Airesto immerse themselves in the soul of tango and explore its deepest layers. It was there that they had the extraordinary opportunity to meet Astor Piazzolla’s grandson, who shared with them the musical legacy and creative philosophy of his legendary grandfather. This encounter sparked a musical dialogue, which later evolved into collaborative projects.
Their music is not merely a tribute to the great masters of tango, but also a distinctive artistic expression, seamlessly blending tango’s fiery rhythms with the freedom of improvisation. Their performance in Narva-Jõesuu promises to be an unforgettable evening, where tango’s melancholy and passion intertwine with Nordic sensitivity and jazz-inspired freedom.
