Trio Tangazo, Argentine Tango and Folklore

Please join us at the Mazza Castle for an evening of music with Trio Tangazo, Argentine Tango and Folklore

Experience authentic Argentine music with Trio Tangazo, featuring virtuoso guitarist/singer Laureano Busse, master bandoneonist Seth Asarnow, and Latin Grammy-nominated bassist Sascha Jacobsen.

Laureano Busse is a singer-songwriter, performer, music producer and session artist. But he defines himself as “a guitarist who sings and composes.” At the age of 11 he was encouraged to strum the "criolla" (Nylon string guitar) when listening to folklore, a genre he embraces to this day. “I connected with that genre from a very young age, I don't know why exactly, they are internal sensations that move me,” he confesses. They are translated into chacareras, zambas, cuecas and Cuyo tunes.”

Sascha Jacobsen, a 2022 Latin Grammy nominee, was born into a musical family, going as far back as his great, great, great, great-grandfather, who was a bassist for the Moscow Opera. He completed a Master's degree at the University of Southern California and has served on the faculty at the California Jazz Conservatory, Humboldt State University, Laney College, Golden Gate Bass Camp, and the Sequoia Chamber Music Festival. Sascha has performed with Kronos Quartet, Rita Moreno, Hugh Jackman, Martin Short, Mandy Patinkin & Patti LuPone, Marc Shaiman, Bonnie Raitt, Randy Newman, Josh Groban, Kristin Chenoweth, Andrew Lippa, Eddie Duran, Dave MacNab, Tim Weed, Tango masters Pablo Estigarribia, Raul Jaurena, Pepe Motta, and Maria Volonte, Flamenco greats Chuscales, Jose Luis Rodriguez, and Juanito Pascual, and many others.

Seth Asarnow, a native of the Bay Area, has a repertory consisting of hundreds of tangos. He can be heard on recordings that range in style from traditional tango to pop. Mr. Asarnow has both composed film scores and played on film soundtracks, and he works regularly with some of the finest tango dancers in the world. Highlights of his performances include Piazzolla’s Four Seasons with Donald Runnicles and members of the San Francisco Opera Orchestra, as well as concerts with Symphony Silicon Valley and the Santa Cruz and San Jose chamber orchestras. He recently appeared on NBC's Dancing with the Stars, performing with the cast of the Broadway show Forever Tango.
