March 31st
Esquina Tango Cultural Society Center
Esquina Tango hosts
and Argentina-to-California concert at the non-profit arts
group's headquarters with the group Los Pinguos. The
evening of Latin rhythms begins at 9 p.m.
Coming to the United
States from cosmopolitan Buenos Aires, Argentina, the sound of
Los Pinguos has claimed fans worldwide - from their hometown to
the streets of Los Angeles. Their mixture of Latin rhythms are
performed with Spanish guitars, a Cuban Tres, Peruvian
cajón (box-drum), bass and harmonizing vocals.
The group’s story
began in 1999 when Adrián Buono, José Agote, Juan
Manzur and Juan Manuel Leguizamón - and later joined by
bassist Santiago Lee - formed the band to play in clubs, bars
and private parties throughout Buenos Aires. Their exciting,
passionate live shows garnered a devoted fan base, inspiring
the talented ensemble to pursue global attention.
