Musician and vocalist, Bernardo Monk began singing tango at the age of nine. He went on to study woodwinds at the Buenos Aires School of Contemporary Music and the Berklee College of Music.

He combines a varied musical background, high-level technique, masterly vocals and especially the use of saxophone- a non traditional instrument- with a deep understanding of traditional tango streams to create a unique program that both honors and expand the tango forms.
