Tangueros de Estambul (also known as TangEsta) founded by Ortaç Aydınoğlu is a contemporary tango orchestra based in Istanbul that brings the authentic spirit of Argentine tango to life.
Founded in Istanbul in 2012, TangEsta is known for its devotion to the Golden Age repertoire of Argentine tango, as well as to works composed by Turkish artists such as Necip Celal Andel, the founder of the Turkish tango tradition.

Note that no other musical tradition could resonate deeply with Istanbul’s melancholic beauty, its intensity, and its quiet longing.
