Founded in 2007 by the violinist Susanne Hofmann; the Fracanapa New Tango Quintet is named after Astor Piazzolla’s composition “Fracanapa” and plays in the line-up Susanne Hofmann (violin), Santiago Cimadevilla (bandoneon), Gabriel Nunez Arancibia (piano), Oli Bott (vibraphone) and Winfried Holzenkamp (double bass). In place of the electric guitar of Piazzolla’s Quinteto Tango Nuevo, Fracanapa has the vibraphone. The programme presents works by Astor Piazzolla as well as compositions of their own by Gabriel Nunez Arancibia and Santiago Cimadevilla. On hd-klassik the album Piazzolla Resonances appeared in 2026.
