Since its formation, the ensemble has developed a distinctive sound that sets it apart from both traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/worldmusiccentral.org\/2022\/07\/06\/the-vitality-and-fervor-of-argentine-tango\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tango<\/a> and its electronic offshoots. Instead, Fleurs Noires embraces a contemporary approach which isdynamic, nuanced, and firmly rooted in both classical training and popular influences.<\/p>\n<p>Led by pianist, composer, and musical director Andrea Marsili, the orchestra performs original compositions created specifically for the group. For sure, these works retain the essence of tango while expanding it into a modern musical language, characterized by a refined yet forceful sensuality.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Fleurs Noires reactivates the historic cultural link between Paris and Buenos Aires. In doing so, the ensemble challenges the genre\u2019s long-standing male dominance by asserting a distinctively female presence. Each member brings a unique cultural and musical perspective, resulting in a repertoire that is both elegant and daring.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The lineup includes: <strong>Andrea Marsili<\/strong> \u2013 piano, composition, musical direction; <strong>Andrea Pujado<\/strong> \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/worldmusiccentral.org\/2025\/01\/28\/the-violin-a-cherished-instrument-across-time-and-genres\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">violin<\/a>; <strong>Anne Le Pape<\/strong> \u2013 solo violin; <strong>Anne Vauchelet<\/strong> \u2013 double bass; <strong>Marion Chiron<\/strong> \u2013 solo bandoneon; <strong>Ana Carolina Poenitz<\/strong> \u2013 bandoneon; <strong>Veronica Votti<\/strong> \u2013 cello; <strong>Solenne Turquet-Bort<\/strong> \u2013 violin; <strong>Kristina Kuusisto<\/strong> \u2013 bandoneon; and <strong>Sophie Durteste<\/strong> \u2013 viola.<\/p>\n<p>Discography:<\/p>\n<p>Salida De Emergencia (Milan Records, 2012)<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4l1CEa1\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Orchestre De Tango<\/a> (Milan Records, 2008)<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3ToYngo\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A Contrafuego<\/a> (Warner, 2016)<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/a7c40daebf94dada2d04d116cc19563067dc84f3e242ee0fd78983b89912d592\"  class=\"avatar avatar-80 photo\" height=\"80\" width=\"80\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tAuthor: Iliana Cabrera&#13;\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save addtoany_share\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/share_save_171_16.png\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fleurs Noires is a ten-piece, all-female tango orchestra made up of musicians from Argentina and France.
