Luigi Coviello
Luigi is originally from Italy and was playing jazz when he first visited Argentina as a tourist. In Buenos Aires, he heard some of the great tango orchestras — an experience that completely changed his plans.
In 2007, he moved to the city to immerse himself deeply in the world of tango. He studied double bass with Juan Pablo Navarro and tango arrangement and composition with Julián Peralta.
Today, Luigi directs, arranges, and composes for the ensemble: Orquesta Típica Andariega. In addition to his musical background, he also holds a university degree in Philosophy.*
Stine Engen
Stine, from Denmark, first came to Buenos Aires in 2009 after several earlier trips, during which she became deeply fascinated by tango — especially the bandoneon, the distinctive tango accordion that is almost exclusively used in this genre.
She has studied bandoneon with some of the great tango maestros, including Carlos Corales and Juan José Mosalini, and has also studied arrangement and composition with Julián Peralta.
Today, Stine performs with two ensembles — Orquesta Típica Andariega and Sexteto Andiamo — and is co-director of Sexteto Andiamo.
She also holds a university degree from Copenhagen, where she studied Anthropology and Modern Culture and Communication.

“The students had a very fun and educational day and were happy to receive instruction in a different way.
It was great that attention had been paid to costumes and decorations.
The students were very positively surprised by the workshop’s versatility, for example, the dance element.”
— Else Marie Steen Thomassen, Kolding Gymnasium 2019
“For our Danish students — and teachers — it was quite an eye-opener to become acquainted with a completely different approach to concepts like dynamics and phrasing… Everything was excellently presented in Danish by one of the orchestra’s musicians, Stine Engen, who plays the bandoneon. Afterwards, we performed the rehearsed tango with great success on several occasions. We can warmly recommend this as a way to broaden the students’ musical horizons.”
