BelTango Quinteto - Belgrade Tango Orchestra
First authentic Tango orchestra from the Balkans. Daniel Piazzolla noted on May 14, 2002 in Buenos Aires: "I am proud that the band  such as Beltango exists in the world, and plays the  music of my father the way it should be played. I was  sincerely surprised when I saw and heard Astor Piazzolla's music performed with the same sensation on the place so different from ours. Obviously, my father's music is completely universal, and Beltango proves it by their marvelous interpretations".
