\"\"<\/a>Quadro Nuevo<\/strong> is Europe\u2019s answer to the Argentine tango.\u00a0 Arabesques, Balkan swing, ballads, daredevil improvisations, the melodies of old Europe and the lightness of the Mediterranean merge into fabulous songs full of joyous colour.<\/p>\n

These melodies tell of the vagabond life, of experiences and encounters on this great journey of life, of small coincidences and grand moments, of tenderness and wild temperament driven between the winds of east and west, caught between consuming yearning and joyful fulfillment \u2013 between the bitter and the sweet.<\/p>\n

Quadro Nuevo has been touring the globe since 1996 giving over 3000 concerts in places as far flung as Sidney, Montreal, Ottawa, Kuala Lumpur, Istanbul, New York, New Orleans, Mexico City, Peking, Seoul, Singapore, Tunis and Tel Aviv. From the tranquility of Upper Bavaria, the road has led them over the Alps to Porto, traversing Europe from Denmark to the Balkans and to the Ukraine.<\/p>\n

In the course of their travels, the quartet has established its own form of melodic poetry beyond all genre pigeon holes, unmistakably shaped by the passionate love of their instruments and the joy of making music. The secret is their devotion: it is a rare experience to hear music performed with so much excitement, verve and an empathy with cultures that are foreign.<\/p>\n

The Quartet\u2019s venues are as diverse as the roots of their music and are not limited to concert halls and festivals. Quadro Nuevo\u2019s ardent virtuosi are just as much at home busking on the piazzas of southern Europe, enticing audiences to dance to their music as a night-time tango band, as they are in jazz clubs and locations as famous as New York\u2019s Carnegie Hall.<\/p>\n

Quadro Nuevo\u2019s CD\u2019s have received the German Jazz Award, <\/em>climbed into the Top Ten of the Jazz and World Music charts and were awarded the coveted European Phono Award <\/em>in Paris.<\/p>\n

The Echo, the German Phono Academy\u2019s highest distinction, was presented to Quadro Nuevo in the category \u201cJazz\/World Music, Best Live Act\u201d in both 2010 and 2011.<\/p>\n

After an exciting and eventful trip to Buenos in early 2014,\u00a0 Quadro Neuvo have once again turned their intense focus back to the Tango.<\/p>\n

History:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The group Quadro Nuevo<\/strong> was born on a grey January day in 1996 when four young musicians met for the first time on a parking lot near Salzburg.<\/p>\n

The four, who had only vaguely heard of each other before then, had been commissioned to produce a movie score for the Austrian TV station ORF. The fee for the recording was subsequently blown in the local Casino and the film was never broadcast.<\/p>\n

But on that day, one thing was clear: a new quartet with an unmistakable sound had been born. From now on, there would only be Quadro Nuevo<\/strong>, the love of nostalgic acoustic music, traveling together evening after evening, from stage to stage.\u00a0 A dream became reality, the joyous exuberance audible in every note.<\/p>\n

The quartet has now performed at many renowned festivals such as the Montreal Jazz Festival, the International Burghausen Jazz Weeks, the Rheingau Music Festival, Merano Music Weeks, Saalfelden Jazz Days, the Ollinkan Festival in Mexico City and the Quebec Festival. Aside from their numerous CDs, the group has published the 224-page autobiographical road book Grand Voyage<\/em> and audiobooks with Ulrich Tukur, Ulrike Kriener, Udo Wachtveitl and Michael Fitz.<\/p>\n
