The format

A live milonga
unlike any other.

At the Noche de 22 Estrellas, three of the most renowned tango orchestras of the international scene play in turn live, tanda by tanda — all night long. Even the cortinas are played live.

Tanda by tanda
Three orchestras alternate across three stages — seamlessly, all night.
Live cortinas
Between the tandas too: music by „Lauter Blech“ and another musical surprise.
Shared finale
Our three orchestras play the final tanda together.
After Milonga
For all Estrellas and tanguer@s with stamina. With DJ Nick Shaforostov. We stay in the Kulturkirche.

The orchestras

22 stars, three tango orchestras, one night

From Buenos Aires and Belgrade to Bremen: three orchestras shaping the international tango scene — in one night, across three stages.

La Juan D'Arienzo on stage — bandoneons and strings in blue stage light

Buenos Aires · Argentina

La Juan D’Arienzo

An orchestra with historic roots. Like no other, they embody the golden age of Argentine tango from the 1930s: powerful, dynamic and driving, in the tradition of the „King of Rhythm“.

To the orchestra
Romántica Milonguera — group portrait of the ensemble in front of a mural

Buenos Aires · Argentina

Romántica Milonguera

The romantic voice of modern tango — celebrated for interpretations full of warmth and melt-in-your-heart singing.

To the orchestra
Quinteto Beltango — the five musicians with bandoneon, guitar, double bass and violin

Belgrade · Serbia

Quinteto Beltango

Europe’s tango ambassadors from the Balkans — virtuosic between tradition and a signature of their own.

To the orchestra
Lauter Blech at the Lichtertreiben 2021 — the fifteen-piece brass band with saxophones, trumpets and light-decorated instruments in front of a blue and orange illuminated façade

Between the tandas

Lauter Blech

Bremen brass band, since 1981

Fifteen musicians with a taste for unruly sounds — klezmer and classical, Weill and Westbrook, film scores and marches. On the night they play the live cortinas between the tandas.
