Mikael Augustsson

Born: March 3, 1976

Seeking new musical territories is important for Mikael Augustsson. With his bandoneon and accordion he explores the intrinsic force of music, and creates a field of tension where the instruments’ timbre and nature constantly offer new dimensions. The foundation lies in Argentinian tango. It is there as a part of him after the time he spent in Buenos Aires. But the music he creates is still unique, for the influences come from many directions, through both the journeys he has made and the different constellations of which he has been a part. Over the years, it has been natural to invite Mikael Augustsson onto many of the major Swedish and international scenes

Dino Saluzzi

Born: May 20, 1935

The son of popular carpero composer and instrumentalist Cayetano Saluzzi, Dino played the bandoneón since his childhood.

For much of his youth, Saluzzi lived in Buenos Aires, playing with the Radio El Mundo orchestra. He would play in orchestras for a living, while touring with smaller, sometimes jazz-oriented ensambles (including a brief stint with Gato Barbieri), developing a personal style that made him a leading bandoneonist in Argentine folklore and avant-garde music (especially since Ástor Piazzolla did not participate in projects other than his own)
