Tango quintet La Creciente - directed by Esteban Hecker - is a collective of tango musicians that plays a mostly classic tango repertoire including traditional tangos like those of Carlos Gardel, Anibal Troilo, Enrique Santos Discépolo and Homero Manzi. The ensemble often expands to play as a septet and octet, getting closer to the sound of an Orquesta Típica.
La Creciente is a tango ensemble that composes their own unique arrangements to tango classics. All musicians live and work in the wetlands of the Paraná Delta, a collection of hundreds of islands that cover an area of 5,400 square miles, one hour away from Buenos Aires. All of them understand and think their musical project as part of a bigger project that includes living a sustainable life that is in accordance with their natural environment.
