Biography
Octeto Buenos Aires was an Argentine tango ensemble from Buenos Aires, established in 1955 by composer and bandoneonist Astor Piazzolla. The group featured Piazzolla and Leopoldo Federico on bandoneon, Enrique Mario Francini and Hugo Baralis on violin, Atilio Stampone on piano, José Bragato on cello, Juan Vasallo on double bass, and Horacio Malvicino on electric guitar. The group released two studio albums in 1957: the self-titled Octeto Buenos Aires (also known as Tango moderno) through the label Disc Jockey, and Tango progresivo through Allegro. Other recordings from this period include "Marrón y azul" and an arrangement of José Pascualâs "Arrabal". Octeto Buenos Aires became inactive in 1958. Despite its brief existence, the group influenced the evolution of the genre by introducing new harmonies, timbres, and forms while maintaining the essence of tango. In 1964, the track "Tango ballet" was included on the compilation 1944-1964: 20 años de Vanguardia.
