2022 Latin Grammy nominees, Los Tangueros del Oeste, were founded by bassist/composer Sascha Jacobsen. Hailing from an illustrious musical family dating back at least five generations, Sascha Jacobsen, is a bassist who loves expanding on traditional forms. He’s explored his passion for Tango in ensembles like The Musical Art Quintet and Trio Garufa, and his latest project, Los Tangueros del Oeste, might be his most adventurous yet.

Los Tangueros is steeped in the Nuevo Tango styles of Astor Piazzolla, Gotan Project, Tanghetto, Narcotango and Bajo Fondo. Focusing on Jacobsen’s original compositions which are inspired by classic Tango forms, the group combines beats and textures from Hip-Hop, Jazz and Electronica, with Flamenco influences filtered through an improvisational lens. Los Tangueros’ singular Nuevo Tango sound is cool and impassioned, sensuous, seductive and utterly dance-inducing.
