Release: The Tango is a musical genre born in the brothels of Buenos Aires at the end of the nineteenth century. The flute and the guitar are one of the main instruments in this genre. During the century, the style was undergoing changes, such as adding instruments ( like bandoneon, for example) and the expansion of musical language. The Duo Pereira and Oliveira (formed by the flutist Cesar Pereira and the guitar player Diogo Oliveira) makes a presentation that goes through traditional tangos, works by Astor Piazzolla (who was primarily responsible for the stylistic expansion of the genre) and Máximo Diego Pujol.
