CAMBAtango was born in Buenos Aires, in May 2006 in the Palermo neighborhood.

There, in a typical ‘hood’ corner, guitar players and friends Lucas Sterin Pensel and Ariel López Saldívar met and started shaping the idea of forming a tango band.

That first meeting was followed by several more sometimes in bars, sometimes in milongas. Ultimately, they agreed: they would establish a tango quartet. They would need two more musicians; thus they started the search for the most talented ones.

That’s when Koji Hirata gets into the picture. An outstanding bandoneon player, who was part of the Tango Escuela Emilio Balcarce Orchestra immediately (cought) their attention. He was ready to go back to Japan when Lucas and Ariel made him an offer he could not refuse, to become a member of CAMBAtango and stay in the land were this powerful music genre and dance is part of the daily life.

While they had various gigs and performed at different venues, they decided to add a singer. The lyrics of tango songs like ‘Mocosita’ or ‘Fangal’ were too good to just play them without a voice so Eva Fiori, the voice, joined

the band.With the two guitars, the bass, the bandoneon and the voice, CAMBAtango was born and ready to impress audiences young and old with its singular tango sound, part orchestra, part ‘criollo’ or autochthonal.
