The Musicians

La Cocina de Tango musicians

Every recording is shaped by the musicians who bring the music to life.

La Cocina de Tango features:

  • Nayiri Piloyan — violin
  • Mayu Funaba — piano
  • Carlos Maldonado Cisneros — double bass
  • Alex Roitman — bandoneon

I’m very grateful to have made this album with such exceptional musicians. Each brought a distinctive voice, energy, and musical sensitivity to the project, and the recording would not be what it is without them.

This is the Alex Roitman Tango Ensemble behind La Cocina de Tango.

Recorded at the Palais de Glace

La Cocina de Tango was recorded at the beautiful Palais de Glace in Stowe, Vermont, thanks to the generosity of Joe Fish and the Argentine Tango Society. For several days, the four of us had the chance to step away from our everyday routines and focus entirely on making music together.

Surrounded by the Green Mountains, it was an inspiring place to record, rehearse, and exchange ideas. The photographs capture a few moments from our time in Stowe, where this album came to life.
