Sole Azul takes the tango from its Argentinian roots and plants it into the Nordic frozen soil. The trio, featuring the talents of accordionist Harri Kuusijärvi, saxophonist Pauli Lyytinen and bassist Eero Tikkanen, takes a jazz-influenced improvisational approach to the fiery passion of the tango.

Sole Azul's debut album Quasi Tango was released in Spring 2019, and the band is working on its second studio release.
