Min-On Concert association
Tango, Latin, American music and Jazz
Launched in 1970 with a concert by the internationally acclaimed Orquestra Jose Basso, the Min-On Tango Series deserves a great deal of credit for establishing tango popularity in Japan — subsequent events featuring Osvaldo Pugliese, Mariano Mores and other leading tango artists on highly successful nationwide tours. Min-On also sponsors jazz, Latin folk music and other concerts which in the past have showcased performances by talent the like of Brazil's Gal Gosta and Gilberto Gil and America's Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter.
