About Tángalo

Formed with a fierce desire to inspire and revitalize Sydney’s Argentine tango dance culture, Tángalo is the brainchild of Emily-Rose Šarkova and Owen Salomé. Tángalo makes a concerted effort to engender a live-music dance-culture in Australia.

Whilst Tángalo plays a wide array of music, ‘golden-age’ repertoire is often featured beside a growing number of original compositions. It is an important aspect of Tángalo’s musical craft that much of the repertoire performed is music that is both ‘danceable’ and also pushes boundaries in order for the group to continue finding their own voice in Tango music.

Since their debut performance of July 2011, Tángalo has fast become a favourite on the Australian Tango scene, performing for events such as The National Folk Festival, Made in Argentina Festival, Tango in the Spring, B.A.S.H and Melbourne’s Milonga 100. They have also performed in prestigious Sydney music venues such as The Basement, Blue Beat and created the very popular Tango evenings at the Camelot Lounge.

In 2013, Tángalo collaborated with Argentine Singer Fabian Rodriguez in a string of concerts and a tour along with dancers Quique Miller and Belen Silva. Owen and Emily-Rose also recently wrote and directed to great acclaim, a brand new Tango show, Twilight Tango, in collaboration with Butterfly Tango, at Sydney’s Independent Theatre.

Tángalo are 2014 recipients of the Australia Council for the Arts JUMP mentorship, which will see them travel to Argentina to perform and work in close collaboration with bandoneon player Hugo Satorre (Orquesta Victoria, Otros Aires).
