The BossoConcept is an eclectic ensemble created to put forward new music, born from the belief that the world of sound is almost overloaded by a fusion of styles, a blend of tendencies, some of them happier than others but without any doubt that association of experiences creates a whole – at the moment of exposure the miracle occurs.

How can we begin to explain Tango? Through its history, its legends? It is complex and as with everything related to humanity it often resembles a geometrical puzzle like a prism reflecting roads and lanes which in turn take us in other directions and so on, ad infinitum.

When our daydreams play host to new and emerging ideas for instance.

So then, which way? Let us start from the foundations, the lowest place, a remote place where it isn't possible to imagine a metaphysical reality. Yes, let us start from the very core of its existence.

The South is a symbol; the representation of an idea. The South is always subjective. The South is a metaphor, which is a most fascinating element of language.
And Music, a language which transports us to places and spaces which are difficult to describe unless we do so with familiar phrases which are mystical by their very nature.

And to this idea of what the tango represents to us, we wish to add our vision of some traditional tangos to carry into the future, with the profound wish that they indulge your memories.
