Kambras, formerly CETA, was a music and dance-theatre company based at Buenos Aires, Argentina. Formerly known as CETA, it was established in 2005, and renamed in 2011 for the presentation of their first short film Pixilation II
Kambras was an independent collective of Argentine Tango dancers, musicians, technicians and media artists. It was led by Gonzalo Orihuela, Julián Rodriguez Orihuela and Solange Chapperon.
