QUATROTANGO was created in mid 2000, as a Bandoneon and Piano duet (Gabriel Clenar and Hugo Satorre). In 2002 Marcelo Rebuffi joined the group as a violin player. The present line-up came together in 2005 when Gerardo Scaglione joined the group on double bass. The original name of the band was La Quartada.
