El Cachivache Quinteto

El Cachivache Quinteto is currently one of the most popular tango bands and is widely recognized in the world-music circuit. Sometimes labeled as ‘Tango Punk’, the group is characterized by its undeniably creative, original, and very danceable style.

Some call them “modern buffoons”, while others describe their music as “communal flat groove”, and both are true. El Cachivache delivers their music in a vigorous manner with a strong dose of humor, mixing traditional tango with a post-punk look, which simultaneously frightens and attracts the audience.
Witty song introductions emerged with the music, livening up already energetic performances. The band was selected to perform at WOMEX19 Showcase in Tampere, Finland in October 2019, and became part of Putumayo´s world music catalogue in November 2024.
Based in Buenos Aires, the band is touring Europe, Russia, USA and Asia for three or four months every year.
Both the tours and the recordings are managed independently for the own band, where Vito, the guitar player take the role of “manager” and producer.

During the last 11 years the band has played in more than 40 countries arriving recently to their show number 1000.

Now presenting their 12th album ”Justo a Tempo” recorded in Buenos Aires in June 2024 and preparing the next, to be recorded in August 2025.
