El Cachivache Quinteto is currently one of the most popular tango groups and is widely recognized on the world music circuit. Sometimes called ‘Tango Punk’, the group is characterized by its undeniably creative, original, and also danceable style.
Some call them “modern buffoons”, others describe the music as
“communal flat groove”, and both are true. El Cachivache serves up its music in a vigorous manner with a good dose of humor, mixing up overdriven traditional tango music with a post punk look, which simultaneously frightens and attracts the tourists.
Witty song introductions emerged with the music, livening up already energetic performances.
The band was formed in early 2009 and has 12 studio albums and 1 live album recorded during the European Tour 2019. El Cachivache usually is performing more than 90 concerts every year. They were selected to perform at WOMEX19 official showcase In Tampere, Finland in October 2019.
They are presenting now their new EP “Justo a tempo” July 2024,
including the Vito´s original composition “Gipsy Vals”, a version of
“El pollo Ricardo” in the Mariano Mores arrangement and the classicals “Dime mi amor” and “Viviani” with Pacha Mendes arrangement.

Vito Venturino, guitar, composition and booking
