The leader of this magnificent group, Alibal Berraute, is one of the most accomplished and versatile pianists in the world. He is joined by Federico Britos, a five-time-Grammy-winning violinist known for his ability to master virtually any style of music. Miguel Arrabal dominates the bandoneon, bringing his solid tango foundation and strong improvisational skill to the dynamic quartet, and Renyel Rivero—who played at Carnegie Hall at the tender age of nine—rounds out the group on bass cello. This dynamic quartet delights audiences with their spirited tango interpretations and sexy, exciting sound. Arts Garage warmly welcomes these musicians from all around the world.
