The Musician Profile
If you play tango music — whether in an orchestra, as a soloist, in a duo, or in a full ensemble — the Musician profile gives you a dedicated space to showcase your work, form musical groups, plan tours, and connect with the tango community.
Like the Teacher, the Musician profile extends the Tanguero profile. You keep all the social and event features while adding music-specific tools.
What the Musician profile adds
Instrument
Tell the community what you play: bandoneón, violin, piano, double bass, guitar, voice, or any other instrument.
Music genres
Select the genres you perform: tango, vals, milonga, tango electrónico, jazz tango, and more.
Orchestra affiliations
Tag the orchestras you are a member of or have performed with. Your orchestra name appears alongside your profile in search results.
Experience
Indicate your years of professional music experience.
Spotify and SoundCloud
Link your streaming profiles so tangueros can listen to your music directly from your Tanguear profile.
Travel and festival availability
Mark yourself as available for bookings at festivals and events outside your home city.
Creating and managing an orchestra
One of the most powerful Musician features is the ability to create musical groups. Tanguear supports 12 different ensemble types:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Dúo or Trío de Tango | A duo or trio |
| Quinteto | Five members |
| Sexteto | Six members |
| Orquesta Típica | Traditional tango orchestra |
| Orquesta de Cámara | Chamber orchestra |
| Orquesta de Tango Nuevo | Modern tango orchestra |
| Conjunto de Tango Tradicional | Traditional tango ensemble |
| Orquesta Electrotango | Electronic tango |
| Orquesta de Cuerdas | String orchestra |
| Orquesta con Cantante | Orchestra with singer |
| Orquesta Sinfónica | Symphony orchestra |
| Charanga | Charanga style ensemble |
Creating your group
The orchestra creation form guides you through several steps:
- Basic info — choose a name, select the ensemble type, add a description, and set your city and country
- Media — upload a logo, a cover image, and a video (or paste a YouTube link)
- Tags — add general tags, instrument tags, and availability tags
- Settings — toggle travel and festival availability, set a suggested booking fee, and add private organizational notes and contact details
Inviting members
Once your group is created, you can invite other musicians to join:
- Open your orchestra's member section and tap Invite Member
- A list of your friends appears — select the musician you want to invite
- They receive a notification and an email with your invitation
- They can accept (they join the group) or decline (the invitation is quietly removed)
You can see at any time which members have confirmed and which invitations are still pending. As the group owner, you can also remove members.
Managing tours
Musicians can plan tours for their orchestras — a series of performances across multiple cities:
- Create a tour with a name, description, start date, and end date
- Add tour dates — each date includes a city, venue, coordinates, start time, and status (planned, confirmed, or cancelled)
- Tour dates can optionally be linked to event schedules on Tanguear, so fans can buy tickets directly
Only the group owner and confirmed members can manage tours.
