Tina Ferrari
Italy
It was the music that inspired Tina Ferrari to start dancing tango in 2003, and when she is not on the dance floor, you can find her at the DJ’s consolle, playing music from the golden age of tango. Tina is originally from Seattle, USA, and has been based in Italy since 2009. Before moving to Europe, she lived in Buenos Aires, dancing with and learning from the milongueros in the traditional milongas. She now frequently travels through Europe, dancing and selecting music at various milongas and encuentros.
Balázs Gyenis
HUngary
In erster Linie ist Balazs ein leidenschaftlicher Liebhaber der argentinischen Tangomusik. Er liest, sammelt und hört alles, was es in diesem Genre gibt.
Balazs bevorzugt die rhythmische und emotionsgeladene Musik aus dem Goldenen Zeitalter, aber als DJ legt er ein insgesamt ausgewogenes Repertoire auf, wobei er auf dynamische Variationen zwischen den Tandas und Konsistenz innerhalb dieser achtet.
Balazs ist auch der Schöpfer des meistgehörten Online-Tango-Radios Argentine Tango Radio & und der am häufigsten heruntergeladenen Internet-Archiv-Tango-Podcast-Serie Danceable Tangos of the Year.
Graziano Sportelli
Italy
I entered the world of tango in 2005 and immediately, I became passionate about studying tango music. I was given the opportunity to become resident tdj of a stable milonga in my province.
I continued to musicalise in many other milongas, in Apulian cities, and also outside the region. Subsequently, I began to play music not only in Italy but also in many other European countries, including France, Germany, Belgium, Portugal, Poland, Austria, England and Spain.
My musical preference is for the tango of the golden age and I always stay within the music of the 20s and 50s. Creating the right energy on the dance floor is my prerogative.
Lynn Collins
UK / France
Lynn has been DJ’ing all over Europe since 2013, and plays traditional music that everyone knows and loves.
As well as the essential golden age classics, she might also sneak in an OTV or a Carabelli tanda, or some other delight from earlier times.
She is English and Irish and lives in France with her German husband. She drinks Earl Grey tea almost constantly and loves any movie in which the dog doesn’t die.
Jan-Henrik Schlottke
Germany
Jan-Henrik lives in Berlin, a city of Tango.
Since he heard his first tango more then 20 years ago, he loves Argentine tango music which he since then collects, both to dance and listen to.
The music he selects, is often heard on Milongas of Berlin as well as on the national and international scenes. He played sets on several Encuentro Milonguero events.
His choice of music exactly matches his dancing preferences: lively, joyful and strong music – but it may also contain a hint of melancholy and drama still warm at heart
You sure get a selection of the finest pieces of music from the ‘Epoca de Oro’.
His goal is to see people smiling and enjoying the dance and music.
