With a Tango repertoire based on the original compositions and style of Juan Seren, complemented by the unique sound and arrangements of the „Dúo Púa Abajo“, this critically acclaimed Tango ensemble offers fresh ideas on poetry and music, as well as arrangements and sound in general while always embracing the „tanguero“ sound and the roots of the genre.

The original group of „Juan Seren y Los Púa Abajo“ was founded in 2010 by singer-songwriter Juan Seren and the guitarist’ / arrangers’ - duo “Dúo Púa Abajo” (Ángel Colacilli and Leandro Coratella). The group has since been joined by double bass player Martín Santiago (bassist of Quinteto Finisterre, amongst others).

The ensemble is regularly performing throughout Argentina and on Buenos Aires’ most famous stages like CAFF (Club Atlético Fernández Fierro), Centro Cultural Torcuato Tasso, Usina del Arte, the Centro Cultural de la Cooperación (CCC) and the Valentín Alsina Tango Festival.

In the past 5 years the group has recorded and released two CDs, “Suerte Negra” (2010) and “Casa Cuore” (2014), both of which have been highly praised by critics of the Tango music world and other genres. One of the released songs „Algunos miran, otros hablan“ was also featured on Julián Peralta’s CD „Un disparo en la noche“. A CD of arrangements for Orquesta Típica which combines Argentina’s new and influential Tango repertoire of today.
