Emilio’s Band, La Balteuband is a multinational instrumental ensemble based in NYC. His compositions are a blend of jazz and elements of Argentine music, such as rhythms like chacarera and zamba along with the lyricism of tango melodies.

La Balteuband’s music consists of rhythmically and harmonically rich pre-composed structures and improvised sections that highlight the musicality of each member of the band. This is what makes each performance of the group so fresh and special.

La Balteuband has performed in New York venues such as the Joes Pub, 55 Bar, Makor, Cornelia Street Cafe, Galapagos Arts Space, and many more.
