OUR DJS

I came to Tango through dance, but over the years I immersed myself in the orchestras, their stories, and the effect they have on the energy of the milonga. I enjoy observing the dance floor and choosing the music that best accompanies the dancers in each moment.

The milonga is like a blank canvas where, together with those who dance, we create an experience full of emotion.

I aim for every tanda to invite people to dance, with a selection focused on the great orchestras of the Golden Age and their most popular and danceable pieces.

Always with the intention of creating a journey of energies… and never forgetting the festive cortinas to keep the party alive!

I am passionate about Tango, with more than 20 years of experience as a DJ and cultural promoter. I was part of the revitalization of Club Villa Malcolm and worked at Confitería Ideal, Club Independencia, and renowned milongas such as La Viruta, El Beso, and Caning. Since 2012, I have been the Artistic Director at Racing Club, and I have participated in UniTango & Beach festivals since 2001.

I have taken my DJ sets to international stages and share my knowledge through courses and talks. Featured in the documentary “La vida es una Milonga”, in 2002 I founded the UniTango Orchestra, consolidating my commitment to Tango culture.

Many people discover Tango through dance; in my case, it was the music that led me to it. Its powerful rhythm, its delicate yet passionate melodies, and above all, its moving lyrics have been my companions throughout my life. I love Tango, and I see myself reflected in it, as if it were a mirror. Do you want to know a secret? One day, I managed to cross that mirror, and in that instant, I decided to DJ and share my own interpretation of Tango.

I understand the Milonga as a collective creation, where each participant brings their own Tango. That is why I believe the role of the DJ is to blend all those colors onto the blank canvas that is the milonga. The DJ must capture the different sensitivities in order to create something harmonious, beautiful, and meaningful.

Maintaining energy is essential, creating an intense atmosphere that leads to emotion, depth, and enjoyment for everyone.
