Julian Curwin is the bandleader of The Tango Saloon, as well as occasional member of Monsieur Camembert. In 2010, Julian Curwin developed The Mango Balloon, a stripped-back chamber version of The Tango Saloon, distilling all of the elements of the larger band down to various smaller configurations, mostly quartets. At less than half the size of the full band, The Mango Balloon has a lighter and more laid back sound, with a style which adds lounge, exotica and continental jazz to The Tango Saloon's tango/western blend. The Mango Balloon's debut album was released in 2010 by Rufus Records.
