The international Tango Orchestra "SILENCIO" was founded 2001 in Europe. After just a few years, the group quickly gained a great reputation playing at tango festivals throughout Europe and is now one of the most famous tango orchestras founded on the European continent, performing in its beginnings together with the beloved bandoneonist Alfredo Marcucci.
The profound quality of SILENCIO has been inspired by very pure styles from Carlos Di Sarli, Roberto Biagi to Alfredo Gobbi: the bases of Silencio's authentic sound. The group has developed its own and very personal sound, performing for more than 10 years together.
SILENCIO consists of musicians from around the world (Argentina, Uruguay, Cuba, Germany, Italy, USA), all residing in Europe. The members now live in 8 different cities across the continent (Basel, Zurich, Lyon, Freiburg, Berlin, Frankfurt, Madrid, Stockholm). The diversity and quality of their interpretations has gained the admiration of tango-musicians and professionals, and SILENCIO is recognised as one of the 3 best large tango-formations of Europe.
During 2013 Silencio has been performing in the most important places of tango- musical scene of Buenos Aires (Almagro Tango Club, Oliverio Girondo, La Casa del Tango, C.C. Torquato Tasso, Milonga El Canning, La Viruta) finding finally its place also among the actual Argentinian youth orchestras.
The group has already published 4 albums ('silencio' 2005, 'SILENCIO en las almas' 2009, ‘Todo, menos la canción’ 2014, `Placer y locura' 2020) and a DVD ("Live in Berlin" 2007).
