Ryota Komatsu, one of Japan's premier bandoneon players, returns to the Billboard Live stage. Having continually broadened tango’s possibilities through collaborations with orchestras, string quartets, and vocalists, this time he approaches it in a style that can be traced back to its origins—the “tango quintet.” A stellar lineup—Keiji Matsumoto on piano, Kumiko Kondo on violin, Shinji Tanaka on double bass, and Mutsuki Kino on guitar—converges to weave breath-taking tension with a finely honed ensemble, where tradition and innovation intersect. Experience Ryota Komatsu as he is today.
