Mina and Giraldo (aka Diomar ‘Giraldo’ Escobar, Mina Ojeda Patino) were fortunate to have experienced tango in Argentina in the late 90s under the wing of renown tango milongueros from the 40s (Tango Golden Age): Mingo and Esther Pugliese, Carlos Gavito, Puppy Costello, Raúl Bravo, Carlos y Rosita Pérez. They have also trained intensively with the very best exponents of the tango’s rebirth age: Osvaldo Zotto and Lorena Hermocida, Guillermina Quiroga, Roberto Reis, Graciela Gonzalez, Gustavo Naveira and Giselle Anne, Roberto Herrera, Natalia and Gabriel, Julio Balmaceda and Corina de la Rosa amongst many others. Mina and Giraldo created in 2000 Corrientes Social Club -Tango School & Social Dancing- one on UK’S largest and most established Tango Clubs in the country.
