Formed in 2010, Tango Sonoro is an ensemble dedicated to the rich tradition of Argentine tango. The band, comprised of four accomplished musicians with roots in the Plymouth Symphony Orchestra, brings together a unique blend of instruments to create a versatile, if non-traditional, sound:

Jonathan Stromberg – Violin
Noelle Boucherat – Piano
Judy Whitlock – Double Bass, Vocals, Flute
Laura Deignan – Clarinet

Their repertoire spans the Golden Age of Tango, milonga, Latin rhythms, and the contemporary edge of nuevo tango. This diversity allows them to deliver performances that are both dynamic and engaging, connecting with a wide range of audiences.

Tango Sonoro has delighted listeners across the South West and beyond, with appearances in the Plymouth Music Accord’s annual concert series and the Saltash Songs and Shanties Festival. But their true passion lies in playing for dancers. They have performed at the Dartington International Festival and at private dances hosted by Devon dance societies, where their live music brings energy and atmosphere to the floor.

Tango Sonoro welcomes guest performers. Contact us if you would like to play/sing with us.

Guest Performers:

Argentine Tango Music

Tango is a style of music from Argentina and Uruguay that first appeared in the mid 19th century. Richly influenced by European Immigrants and African Music it falls neither in the classical nor the jazz genre. Lyrical melodies, syncopated rhythms and strongly accented dynamics make this music exciting and diverse.

Most of the pieces played by us were composed during the ‘Golden Age’ of Tango Music (1930-50’s). Our varied repertoire includes traditional tango, tango nuevo, milonga, valse as well as other latin pieces.
