Hybrid Tango is a side project by the members of Buenos Airesbased electronic neo-tango band Tanghetto. Also named Hybrid Tango Project.

Released in December 2004, Hybrid Tango contains twelve instrumental tracks in which, apart from the blend of electronic music and tango that is the distinctive sound of Tanghetto, there are plenty of world-music styles such as flamenco, candombe, and jazz. Acoustic sounds (bandoneón, piano, guitar, cello, and even the Chinese stringed instrument, the erhu) are more predominant than in Tanghettos debut album Emigrante (Electrotango). The album was produced and mixed by Max Masri.

The album was nominated for a Latin Grammy Award in 2005 and reached gold status in Argentina.
