Since 2009 "Alejandro Ziegler Tango Quartet" has developed their own unique style of tango music reflecting both innovation and tradition.Inspired by the golden age tango orchestras, the ensemble managed to reach an evolutionary synthesis of traditional tango and contemporary feeling.
On stage the communication between the four musicians is allowing, expressive, playful and tight. They flirt with a chamber musical expression without ever leaving the unpredictable spontaneousness within popular music and improvisation. Various grooves and different ornaments reveal the members personal playing styles.

Laura Camacho’s comments on the song: "This cover came up as a personal experiment to re- arrange the song in such a way that is recognizable , while incorporating tango elements such as chicharra, strapata, yumba, exaggerated vibrato in the violin , tempi changes, etc. I was inspired by artists like Mariano Mores and Astor Piazzolla . This is the most eclectic cover I’ve done so far, and I love to extrapolate the dramatic Argentine spirit with the trippy vibe of Will’s vocals, that resemble the original so much. I’m honored to have him in our recording !"
