ASATO PAIS
Tango Concert

TANGO 3 SHIMAI + (Tango Three Sisters +) is a trio of female performers living in Fukuoka City that was formed in the summer of 2020. The trio was formed around the second sister, Yukie, who plays the bandoneon, an instrument essential to Argentine tango. In addition to tango, they will deliver a wonderful feeling to customers with a wide range of genres such as classical and Showa era pop music.
The "+" (plus) does not represent the trio alone, but rather represents their desire to expand and create happy moments together with their fellow performers and audience, and to weave that joy into the future.
