Ben Van Den Dungen, Tanya Schaap & Band – Tango Extremo
One of the world's most intriguing ensembles

Ben van den Dungen, Tanya Schaap and Band perform works such as "Russische Tango" by E. Artemep, and "La Habanera y Torreador" by G. Bizet for this album titled Tango Extremo. Tanya Schaap & Band, primarily known as the ensemble Tango Extremo (and also performing under the name Musica Extrema), is a Dutch group founded in 2003 by violinist and artistic leader Tanya Schaap.

The group specialises in a unique interpretation of Argentine tango, often blending it with diverse genres such as jazz, Brazilian music, classical music, and European folklore. Their repertoire frequently includes "Tango Nuevo" and creative adaptations of major classical works, such as their well-known production of the St. Matthew Passion.
