Thomas and Jose’s friendship and musical partnership is a great example of how the power of the arts can bridge the differences between two very distinct cultures, one Korean and one Mexican.
They met during their studies at the SF Conservatory of Music and between them have won several awards, scholarships and competitions. Their talent and musical tastes brought together a dynamic and close collaboration during many recitals and concerts after their Master Degree graduation. Their debut CD reflects a culmination of their work together: a program of Tangos. Spanish dances, folk dances and jazz standards as a mark of “Historia” in their careers. As professional musicians they play with many symphonies and orchestras throughout California and have collaborated several times with Tango Revolution events. Their performance is infectious and undoubtedly will stir you to dance. Come out to support the debut CD of these talented musicians and be prepared to have a VERY good time at Tango Revolution!
Tango Revolution is a weekly neighborhood educational project to offer anyone the opportunity to learn and experience the social aspect of Argentine Tango dance, music and history. By holding the event in an accessible café on a Sunday afternoon we encourage the spontaneous inclusion of music and dance in our everyday life as a communal experience. We offer the beautiful connection between human beings in the Tango Embrace as a common ground and antidote against the isolation, separation and fearful existence we are led to believe is necessary. What better way to connect with each other across our differences than the non-verbal power of a musical and dance embrace, listening and moving together as one?
Tango Revolution is a program of Intimate Embrace Tango, which envisions Argentine Tango as a relational matrix of connection to ourselves, each other and the world. We organize classes, workshops, cultural, social awareness- and fundraising events around critical issues of our time.
Come watch, listen or join in the dance! All ages are welcome. No dance experience or partner necessary.

Tango Revolution is a weekly neighborhood educational project to
offer anyone the opportunity to learn and experience the social
aspect of Argentine Tango dance, music and history. By holding
the event free of charge in an accessible café on a Sunday afternoon
Tango Revolution encourages the spontaneous inclusion of music
and dance in our everyday life as a communal experience.
Tango Revolution is a program of Intimate Embrace Tango, which
envisions Argentine Tango as a relational matrix of connection to
ourselves, each other and the world. We organize classes,
workshops, cultural-, social awareness-and fundraising events around
critical issues of our time.
We hope that Tango Revolution is a fertile ground for learning
about Argentine Tango, a dance and music of immigrants, which
continues to cross the boundaries of race, culture, language and
social status. Where both beginning and accomplished dancers
and musicians can share the floor without obvious hierarchy.
Where all gender pairings are encouraged and anyone may ask
anyone to dance.
We offer the beautiful connection between human beings in the
Tango Embrace as a common language and antidote against the
isolation, separation and fearful existence we are led to believe
is necessary. What better way to connect with each other across
our differences than the non-verbal power of an embrace,
listening and moving together as one?
Come watch, listen or join in the dance! All levels and ages are
welcome.
