Mark Holen: Drums - Percussion - Piano - Vocals
David Durrah: Keyboards - Vocals
Hector del Curto: Bandoneon

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina-where Tango originated-Miguel and Alex have always included elements of both genres in their music. Such influences can be heard throughout their extensive discography and read about in almost every book recounting the history of music in South America.

But it was not until now that they decided to develop a full Tango Rock fusion thanks to the invaluable contributions of Mark and David. Both born in the USA, and having performed and recorded with renown musicians as well as with their own projects, they brought their knowledge of Rock, Jazz and Latin music to complete ALMANGO's rich blend.

Though predominantly Tango Rock, ALMANGO's original music also contains many elements of Latin and Jazz. Two professional dancers translate the sounds into movement. The lyrics, written in both English and Spanish, create an image that reflects all of the Americas.

Because of this, audiences feel like dancing as well as listening, making ALMANGO's music an exciting experience that appeals to a wide range of people of all ages.
