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 them together in Buenos Aires through one of the most prestigious &amp; 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 Argentine Tango such as Maestro Victor Lavallen (Pugliese’s Bandoneonist &amp; Arranger), Maestro Roberto Alvarez (Pugliese &amp; Color Tango), Maestro Jose Colangeolo (Anibal Troilo’s pianist) and many more.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.Artists:<ul><li> Sumi Lee – Piano</li><li> Hanel Yeon – Bandoneón</li><li> YoonHo Jeong – Contrabass</li><li> Abram Kim (Guest artist) – Violin</li><li> Maximiliano Larrea (Guest artist) – Guitar</li><li> Teresa Tam (Guest artist) – Vocals</li></ul>Sumi Lee is a classically trained pianist who obtained a master’s degree in music, piano performance, from San Francisco Conservatory of Music.

This problem can be further exacerbated if the artists performs a culturally unique genre that is yet to be known to the masses. She believes in cultural diversity and equal opportunity for all art forms, and she is enthused about supporting talented local and visiting guest artists from all around the world to provide local audiences with diverse music programs in high quality, live performances. She organize live tango music performances in Bay Area via Golden Gate Int’l Artists.
