Richard Willis and Martin Markinson present the Argentine global sensation COLOR TANGO at The Wadsworth Theatre.

COLOR TANGO is one of the key figures of the tango scene. From its beginnings and uninterruptedly, has performed in the most important theatres and tango festivals worldwide and has received numerous awards. Their repertoire consists of their own compositions and arrangements, plus interpretations of great successes of the orchestra of Osvaldo Pugliese. Roberto Álvarez, founding director of Color Tango, who was first bandoneon player and arranger of Maestro Pugliese’s orchestra for many years, has managed to lead the Color Tango orchestra to be considered the main successor of the style and imprint of the great maestro Pugliese, characterized by its strength and expressiveness. The 12 CDs released by Color Tango are heard and danced in milongas all around the world. Special editions have been made in countries of North America, Europe and Asia. The main tango-dance teachers have choreographed their music for many different shows. The musical activities of Color Tango have been declared of Cultural Interest by the Ministry of Culture of Argentina. In November 2021, with the announcement by conductor Roberto Álvarez of his retirement from the stage, the orchestra began a new stage in its history. On December 11 of the same year, the orchestra made its debut again with a concert at the CCK, joining maestro Ramiro Boero as first bandoneon.
