Influenced by European tango and waltz and evoking the atmosphere of a 1930s French Salon, Ruth Roshan & Tango Noir combines lush arrangements with Ruth’s bittersweet lyrics to create music which is both elegant and beautiful, new and nostalgic.

“Silent movies in black and white with smoke drifting across couples embracing to the Tango – this is the scene that Ruth paints with her music.”

When Melbourne based classical mandolinist Ruth Roshan was introduced to live Argentinean Tango in Paris at the age of 23, she was hooked. Now, with her quintet, Tango Noir she has recorded three albums of melodic Tango inspired pieces and songs, and gathered an exceptional group of musicians around her in the process.
