Tango Transit
Tango Transit are Martin Wagner (accordion), Hanns Höhn (bass) and Andreas Neubauer (drums). Since 2008, the trio from the Frankfurt area has performed more than 500 concerts in Germany and abroad and released five CDs and a live DVD.
The way they fuse the energy and expressiveness of classical tango with a modern sound is unparalleled in Germany: Elements from Louisiana's Cajun music mix with the rawness of the Balkans, French musette meets oriental sounds; sometimes even house bass drum or wah-wah and distortion on the accordion are added, as can be heard on the current album "Akrobat" (JAZZNARTS).
In addition to compositions by the band, this is the first album to include three arrangements (Roger Waters' "Brain Damage", Astor Piazzolla's "Libertango" and F. Mendelssohn Bartholdy's "Elfentanz") and is the result of an intensive collaboration between three exceptional instrumentalists.
The music of Tango Transit is powerful, filigree, melancholic and sweat-inducing and extremely impressive live.
