The music has got its origin in "Nuevo tango", the genre Astor Piazzolla created in the 20^th century by mixing tango, Baroque music and jazz. From these roots the NTO makes innovative excursions as well as exploring and animating the genre. They refurbish the new tango, go deep in improvisations and tickle the senses with equilibristic Baroque melodies. They beat taut tango, dynamic diversity and independent-progressions into the music and make it into a game, a cry and heartbeating love. The music speaks in exaggerated metaphors and does not back off from what's absolutely real.
