From 2016 to 2021, NARCOTANGO went through a period of hiatus, during which Carlos Libedinsky moved to Berlin and released the albums #FUEYE (2018), CIELO (2019), EL VIAJE AZUL (2020), and MONA IN BERLIN (2021), where the bandoneon immerses itself in South American rhythms and world music, creating a new soundscape with electronic beats, voices, and native instruments.

In 2021, after the Covid pandemic, the second stage of NARCOTANGO began, performing at renowned festivals and milongas in Europe and Argentina, successfully presenting tango dancers with the music from the album ROUGE (2022).

During 2023, the group’s 20th Anniversary year, Narcotango carried out a major international tour, which resulted in the album Anarcolonga, released in March 2024, with which they received the “Tango Siglo XXI” Award in the Electrotango category.

 In 2025, his musical journey unfolds in ever-growing creative expansion, with the release of three inspired and cinematic singles — “Abril”, “Antes de que amanezca”, and “Alado” — now available on all digital platforms. Alongside these new soundscapes, he continues to enchant audiences at festivals and milongas throughout Europe and Argentina, where tradition and innovation meet in a living, pulsating dialogue.
