U.B. Tango

Argentinian tango orchestra. Founded by Lucho Repetto. Integrants: Lucho (piano and leadership), Tito Farías (bandoneon), Orlando Gómez (guitar) and Miguel Ortiz (bass). They were the musical background and accompaniment for several consecrated artists: Jorge Casal, Raúl Berón, Roberto Rufino, Jorge Durán, among others. In 1975, due to a suggestion of the rector of the Universidad de Belgrano, Lucho Repetto formed a quartet to appear at a festival organized by that institution. So UB Tango was born. It was lined up by Lucho (piano and leadership), Tito Farías (bandoneon), Orlando Gómez (guitar) and Miguel Ortiz (bass). This aggregation formed exclusively for that festival ended up being hired by Julio Lagos for his program on TV Channel 13. From then on several appearances in different theaters in the federal capital took place and, later, they toured the interior of the country. In 1982, Lucho and his UB Tango were awarded with the Premio Revelación del Festival de La Falda. Besides the award there was a contract to appear at the mythical Café de los Angelitos, on Rivadavia and Rincón. So they were the musical background and accompaniment for several consecrated artists: Jorge Casal, Raúl Berón, Roberto Rufino, Jorge Durán, among others.
