Created in 1995 by Carlos Quilici at the School of Music of the National University of Rosario (Argentina).
Most of the repertoire of the group is for dancing. It includes tangos of all times and own compositions.

The arrangements and adaptations belong generally to Carlos Quilici. These propose a balance between traditional and avant-garde tango, respecting the original melodies and imprinting a pointed out rhythmical strength.
