About Corazon Tango,
Main members of Corazon Tango were all born in S. Korea, however they spent their early adulthood in 3 separate cities such as San Francisco (Sumi Lee, Pianist), Buenos Aires (Hanel Yeon, Bandoneonist) and Seoul (YoonHo Jeong, Bassist). Love of Tango music put us together in Buenos Aires through one of the most prestigious & competitive Tango orchestra schools in the world, “La orquesta escuela de tango, Emilio Balcarce” in 2017. Since then the rest is history.
They all have very similar tango training, theater performance track records in Buenos Aires under the same maestros who taught them everything about Tango such as Maestro Victor Lavallen and Maestro Roberto Alvarez (Color Tango), who were the Osvaldo Pugliese’s bandoneonist and arranger. Maestro Jose Colangeolo, who was the Anibal Troilo’s last pianist, etc... (More details on www.sumilee.com)
Argentine Tango Music changed their lives profoundly. Their desire to study and perform Tango music, made them to move and live in Buenos Aires for years to a decade. After years of assimilation and absorbing the knowledge of Tango Music, they now want to share and give back to the people in their own communities and the world.
Their founding members are three, however, they often invite local and visiting artists to collaborate as a Quartet, Quintet and etc. And, they are planning to perform throughout the state and Asia coming years.
*Corazon Tango is seeking for the sponsorships, pantrons and various kinds of support to lay the stage on which their creativity can be expressed and shared. Please contact them if you are interested in booking and contributing. They are located in the Bay Area & Seoul, S. Korea.
