Daniel Binelli has become one of the foremost in-depth connoisseurs of the tango in all its styles - styles that date from the beginning of the century up to present day. Binelli is an internationally reknowned composer, musical arranger, bandoneonist and Argentinian musical director. Considered the best instrumentalist of the tango genre (Argentina), Binelli is the honored recipient of the 1995 Konex Prize.
From 1968 through 1982, Binelli toured as a member of the Orchestra of Osvaldo Pugliese as a bandoneonist and musical arranger. In 1989, Binelli was invited by Astor Piazzolla to be a part of his New Tango Sextet, and toured with Astor Piazzolla through Europe and Latin America. He has also performed with Paquito de Rivera in Buenos Aires, and the Orchestra of Dizzy Gillespie.
Members of the Daniel Binelli Septeto include: Sergio Balderrabano on piano, Julio Grana playing violin, Diego Sanchez on the cello, Oscar Victor Carnero on the double bass, Marcelo Chiodi playing the tenor saxophone, flute and piccolo flute, and Hector (Cacho) Tejera rounding out the group on percussion.
