Estoy orgulloso que exista un grupo como Beltango en el mundo, tocando la musica de mi padre como se debe tocar.

Sinceramente me sorprendio ver y escuchar como en un lugar tan distinto al nuestro, se pueda interpretar con el mismo sentimiento la musica de Astor Piazzolla.

Evidentemente, la musica de mi padre es totalmente universal, y asi lo demuestra Beltango, con su maravillosa interpretacion.

I am proud that the band such as Beltango exists in the world, and plays the music of my father the way it should be played.

I was sincerely surprised when I saw and heard Astor Piazzolla's music performed with the same sensation on the place so different from ours.

Obviously, my father's music is completely universal, and Beltango proves it by their marvelous interpretations.
