Mi Tango Querido was formed out of a desire to bring the sounds and spirit of Buenos Aires to audiences beyond Argentina. Through an intimate, non-traditional ensemble, the group honors the legacy of tango’s great pioneers while shaping a voice that is distinctly their own. Featuring Kazuki Tsubakida (Jazz ’26) on piano, Liana Logan (Classical ’29) on upright bass, Bennet Badeaux (Classical ’27) on classical guitar, Jessi Kaufman (Classical ’27) on viola, and Rosario Rivas (CMA ’26) on voice, Mi Tango Querido reimagines works by legends such as Astor Piazzolla and Carlos Gardel, while bringing the unique cultural and artistic background of each member into every performance. The ensemble has also been shaped under the guidance of Amir Milstein, faculty member in the Contemporary Musical Arts department at the New England Conservatory, whose thoughtful mentorship has helped the group refine and develop its distinctive sound.
