About Tango Colorado:
“I wrote Tango Colorado for a middle school student who loved tangos but struggled with the syncopated rhythm of the left hand against the melody.This tango was composed to ease her frustration.Written for small harp (26 strings) Tango Colorado lends itself to expansion via improvisation - feel free to mess with the notes! I hope you enjoy it.”Margot Krimmel
