Dutch term or phrase: waar twee melodiën elkaar uiteindelijk vinden

Looking for ideas on the best way to phrase this musically. General text about a CD by a saxophone quartet and invited guests. Milonga is a type of tango.

Guillermo Lago en Juan Luis del Tilo tenslotte zijn musici die door het kwartet benaderd werden hun muzikale ideëen over de tango ná Piazzolla uit te werken. Del Tilo schetst in zijn Tormenta Tango (‘stormachtige tango’) en Testarudo Tango (‘eigenwijze tango’) een wilde, ritmische wereld waar zijn Esfera een verstilde intimiteit oproept. Virtuositeit en een vakkundig gebruik van de mogelijkheden van het saxofoonkwartet karakteriseren zijn stukken. Lago creëert in Pequeñitos (‘kleintjes’) een lieflijke bitonale milonga **waar twee melodiëen elkaar uiteindelijk vinden** en in El Tonto del Pueblo (‘de dorpsgek’) een vrolijke meezinger. Maar dan wel eentje voor dorpsgekken.

where ultimately (the) two melodies meet

Explanation:
I would keep close to the original.
Could also go literal: 'find each other'. It's common to have two melodies diverging and meeting (with the rythm section maintaining the unity), all the way from baroque to System of a Down, but especially in improv jazz.
