Orquesta Tipica (Tango or Death) is a documentary film that tells the story about a tango orchestra who travel all over the world playing the historical Argentinian music.

Nicolas Entel directed the film, which was mostly recorded in Buenos Aires, though he registered images during the first European Tour that Orquesta Tipica Fernandez Fierro did around Holland, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. He also filmed during a mini tour in Uruguay.

By the beginning of 2004, the project was finished and remained eight long months of edition off line. Nicolas Entel and Pablo Farina, director and editor, wanted to finish a documentary using an own language from the fiction cinema.

Orquesta Tipica didn't use off voices and the camera interviews are the witness of the film process.

The film will be in the theaters on March in Argentina. However, the film won the Audience Award in the Beverly Hills Festival in 2006, and was selected to opening the Wild River Film Festival.

Also, presented in Tandil Week of Cinema, Urban Tango Festival in Barcelona, Turks & Caicos International Film Festival, San Rafael Festival and Boston Latin International Film Festival, among others.
