Formed by Violinist Machiko Ozawa in New York City in 2008, Urban Tango Trio is made up of three talented virtuoso musicians: Machiko Ozawa, former concert master of Orquesta Sinfonica Sinaloa de Las Artes, on violin; Latin-Grammy winner Octavio Brunetti on piano; and acclaimed composer/arranger Pedro Giraudo on bass. Together they capture the passion and excitement of Argentine tango in a repertoire ranging from traditional favorites to contemporary interpretations.

Their first album “Urban Tango Trio” was released by PLATONIC RECORD in Japan in 2011.

They have dazzled audiences in New York, Washington DC, South Carolina, Virginia, and in Tokyo, Japan, with an upcoming tour to Japan this August.  This appearance at Joe’s Pub will debut their new repertoire, which they will feature on their tour and will be the basis of their next CD.

Machiko Ozawa is the former concertmaster of Orquesta Sinfonica Sinaloa de Las Artesdo. In addition, she also has performed with renowned tango players, such as Pablo Ziegler, Hector Del Curto’s Eternal Tango, Fernando Otero, and Polly Ferman’s Gramour Tango at Blue Note, Jazz Standard, Winter Garden at Financial Center, Joe's Pub, and Highline Ballroom.
