  • Tan (surname)

    Origin

    Two origins have been suggested for the Tan surname:

  • The surname came from the ancient State of Tan which was located in the western part of what is now Shandong Province. During the Spring and Autumn Period, this state was conquered by the neighbouring State of Qi. The court changed their surname to Tan in remembrance of their defeated homeland, and later prospered in Hunan Province.
  • The surname came from the less common surname 談, another with the same pronunciation in Mandarin Chinese and Cantonese Chinese. In order to avoid the revenge of their enemies, the clan leaders changed it to 譚.
  • A study by geneticist Yuan Yida has found that people with either of the two Tan surnames are especially concentrated in Hunan Province which would tend to support these accounts. This does not mean that they are the most common surnames in that province.

This is one of the biggest selling records in her career which she is crowned as one of the best singers for teenagers; and for the first time the audience saw a singer with two radio hits in the charts in Mexico(words of Raul Velasco), with the songs "Corazón a la deriva" and "Tanto". The album was shaping up to be one of the most successful albums of the late '80s, a decade very representative to Lucero.
