Tango Bardo is one of the most popular Argentinian tango bands. Their music is heard and danced around the world. Their personal sound and style are chosen by the best professional tango dancers for their exhibitions or competitions. Worldwide Tango Djs include always Tango Bardo in their milongas.

The band is formed by Juan Miguens on double bass, Lucas Furno on violin, Santiago Polimeni on bandoneon, Lorena Donvito on piano and Roberto Minondi on voice.

The band was formed in 2014. That year they participated in the Musical show “Chantecler” by the famous dancer Mora Godoy. With this show they performed in Paris (Chatelet theatre), Tokyo (Orb theatre) and Buenos Aires (at the Alvear theatre, The Opera and Teatro Astral). In the milonga circuit (“milongas” are Argentine tango social dances), they debuted at La Viruta, and quickly became part of the regular programming of milongas such as: VillaMalcolm, Salon Canning, Salon Gricel, Marabu, El Beso, etc.

They also travel throughout Argentina performing in milongas, theaters and festivals (Rosario, Rio Cuarto, Baradero, La Rioja, Tucumán, Arequito, La Plata, Carlos Paz, Olavarria, Mar del Plata, and other cities as well.) In 2015 they were invited to play at the gala milonga of ETI (Encuentro de Tango del Interior) where more than 1000 tango dancers danced simultaneously to their music in the city of Rio Cuarto.

Tango Bardo provided the music for many different tango shows, between 2015 and 2017 such as: Compania Mora Godoy, Tango Legends and Tango Desire, with which they toured China, Thailand, Singapore, France, Japan, Uruguay, Chile, Spain, as well as Rosario, Mendoza, and Cordoba, in Argentina.

Since then, they have been touring worldwide, including many tours in Europe, South America, and Asia, and beyond.
