Sexteto Milonguero (ARGENTINA) (10 pm to midnight)
Using his personal touch and a danceable repertoire borrowed from various types of orchestras (with a specific focus on those of the 1940’s), Javier Di Ciriaco created the Sexteto Milonguero in 2006. His goal – to keep the role of these great orchestras alive by staying in touch with the dancers, the milongas, the neighborhoods and the people… From its beginning, the group has always strived to offer danceable music.
Over time, and because of the variety of contexts in which they have performed, the Sexteto has included in its repertoire concert themes, Argentine folk music and international theme songs adapted to its own style, as well as their own compositions.
Over the last eleven years, the Sexteto Milonguero has traveled over practically all Argentina. They have gone on two tours in Latin America, completed 13 tours in Europe in over more than twenty-five countries, and gone twice to the Unites States where they played in more than ten cities. They have also toured in Canada, Singapore and China.
