La Chicana

La Chicana is a Worldwide group from Argentina, formed on January 1, 1995.

La Chicana was formed in the first months of 1996 with the clear intention of producing tango music with a rougher edge. They favour the "canyengue" rhythms and humorous melodrama of early tango as opposed to more solemn later flavours. They truly believe that the essence of tango lies in its 1920's spirit of rebellion and spontaneity which puts it ideologically closer to rock music than to the orchestral forms that popularised it in the world since the '40s. .
