Orquesta Típica Tangarte, is an Argentinian–Swedish tango orchestra from Malmö, Sweden. The group is under musical and artistic direction of Juanjo Passo, who founded the group in 1999. Their music is primarily played for dancing. The orchestra's music is the tango from Rio de la Plata, a repertoire with a great variety from the 1940s and −50s up to this date. Well-known composers like Villoldo, Canaro, Fresedo, Di Sarli, Troilo, Pugliese and Piazzolla, to mention a few, are part of this repertoire. Orquesta Típica Tangarte have been touring mainly in Sweden, Denmark and Finland, but also Germany, Spain, France, Argentina and Chile, performing at major tango festivals such as Cumbre Mundial de Tango, Tarbes Tango Festival and others. The group have had guest bandoneonists on a quite regular basis, such as Luis Stazo from world famous Sexteto Mayor, Carlos Buono and others.
The latest record is "Rumores de orquesta" (monophon Sweden 2012). Tangarte have previously recorded three CDs – "Lo que vendrá" (monophon Sweden, 2007), "Ecos de Tango" (EDT/monophon Sweden, 2004) and "Danzarin" (Skåneton/Hi-hat records).
