Biography

The LiberTango group emerged in 1996 in Rio de Janeiro, initially under the name Astor Piazzolla Trio. Formed by pianist Estela Caldi, saxophonist and flutist Alexandre Caldi, and singer Marcelo Rodolfo, the trio dedicated themselves to interpreting the works of the renowned Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla.

Over time, the group expanded its lineup and repertoire, incorporating other musicians and exploring original compositions as well as reinterpretations of other Brazilian artists, such as Ernesto Nazareth. LiberTango's current lineup features Estela Caldi, Alexandre Caldi, Marcelo Caldi (brother of Marcelo Rodolfo), Nicolas Krassik, and Bruno Migliari.

LiberTango is recognized for its ability to move between tango, Brazilian instrumental music, and jazz influences, creating a unique and sophisticated sound. The group has released several albums and performed on important stages in Brazil and abroad, consolidating itself as an important name in the Brazilian music scene.
