In 2003, Tanghetto burst onto the scene with their debut album Emigrante (electrotango), inspired by Argentina’s 2001 economic crisis and by the younger generation emigrating in search of what their immigrant grandparents once dreamed of upon arriving in the country. The record, nominated for a Latin Grammy in 2004 alongside artists such as Yo-Yo Ma, quickly achieved platinum status and was performed in emblematic venues in Buenos Aires, including a massive show at the city’s Obelisk and at the Tango World Championship and Festival.
​
In 2004 came Hybrid Tango, a visionary fusion of tango with world sounds, which was also nominated for a Latin Grammy. In 2005 they released Buenos Aires Remixed, featuring their now-classic cover of New Order’s Blue Monday, celebrated by U.S. alternative radio and highlighted by The Guardian. That same year they embarked on their first European tour (France, Italy, and the United Kingdom) and performed a series of concerts at the ND Ateneo Theater in Buenos Aires.
​
In 2007, along with the release of the video Mente Frágil (the first tango video with a lesbian love story), the band was invited to the Festival Internacional Cervantino in Mexico, performed at the Chicago Symphony Center and the Ford Amphitheater in Los Angeles, and played at London’s Notting Hill Arts Club. That year Tanghetto also received major international media attention: they appeared on the cover of the Espectáculos section of El Universal (Mexico) and featured in an extensive article in the Los Angeles Times, which underscored the innovative nature of their work.
​
In 2008, a turning point came with El Miedo a la Libertad (Fear of Freedom), inspired by Erich Fromm’s essay. The album reflected both social and artistic tensions, and in 2009 it won Tanghetto their first Gardel Award for Best Electronic Tango Album, firmly establishing the group as a leading innovator in the genre.
At the same time, the band undertook their most ambitious tours to date 2007-2008, performing in more than 100 cities worldwide, including a highlight show at London’s Islington Academy and a Live in the sudio performance at the BBC.
​
In 2009 they released Más Allá del Sur, featuring the track “La Milonga”, which became one of their most important classics and remains to this day Tanghetto’s most-listened-to song across social media and digital platforms.
​
In 2010 they released VIVO, recorded in several cities worldwide. In 2011 they followed up with VIVO Milonguero, which, in addition to live recordings, included unplugged sessions at the BBC and went on to win a Gardel Award, their second in 2012.
​
In 2013 they released Incidental Tango and performed at prominent venues across Eastern Europe, including a show at London’s O2 Arena. In 2014 came Hybrid Tango II (nominated for a Latin Grammy, sharing a category with Rubén Blades), and in 2015 Progressive Tango, which explored progressive rock influences. In 2016 they released Desenchufado (Gardel-nominated).
​
In 2017, Tanghetto played Peter Gabriel’s WOMAD festival and held two memorable concerts in Buenos Aires: at the Usina del Arte (Symphonic Hall) and at the Ballena Azul of the CCK, with guests Pedro Aznar, Peteco Carabajal, Leo García, and Amelita Baltar.
​
In 2018, celebrating their 15th anniversary, they performed at New York’s Lincoln Center for an audience of 3,000. In 2019 they closed the anniversary tour with a concert at the Ballena Azul of the CCK alongside Sandra Mihanovich, Pedro Aznar, and Nito Mestre.
During the pandemic (2020–2021), they released Reinventango (earning their eighth Gardel nomination) and Tanghetto plays Piazzolla (nominated for a Latin Grammy).
According to Grammy.com, Tanghetto's "Reinventango" features a robust masterpiece of melancholic melodies and sharp rhythms, setting a gold standard for all tango projects to follow.
​
In 2022 they embarked on a world tour of 50 cities, including two full tours of Canada, further strengthening their international presence.
​
In 2023 they released Argentinxs, a collaborative album featuring emblematic Argentine cultural icons such as Fito Páez, Pedro Aznar, Adriana Varela, and León Gieco. The record was praised for its diversity of styles and was nominated for the Latin Grammy. That same year they celebrated their 20th anniversary with special concerts at the Centro Cultural San Martín and at the Ballena Azul of the CCK.
​
In 2024 they carried out two extensive European tours, including a return to Berlin after several years, and also performed at the Buenos Aires Tango Festival and World Championship before a live audience of 2,000 at the Centenario Park Amphitheater.
In April 2025, the Buenos Aires City Legislature honored Tanghetto as Cultural Icons of the City. In May they released Tanghetto – En Vivo 20 Años, nominated for a Latin Grammy, featuring recordings from their anniversary shows. In September, they returned to the Ballena Azul with Amelita Baltar, further cementing Tanghetto’s role as a bridge between Piazzolla’s heritage and new generations.
​
Today, with more than 300 cities and 32 countries toured, multiple Latin Grammy nominations, and Gardel Awards to their name, Tanghetto continues to expand the boundaries of tango with a proposal that blends tradition, innovation, and a strong cultural and inclusive imprint.
