Zodiac Milonga - Friday 07/07/23, night

TDJ: Krzysztof Rumiński, Toruń, PL

I have been running milongas since 2014. I trust that in this way I give people pleasure. Enrique Santos Discépolo once said that tango is a sad thought to be danced. For me, tango is also a flirt with music, as well as a subtle, full of curiosity conversation between partners. (At milongas) I aim at creating a friendly, slightly nostalgic, fascinating dance journey, to which I invite milonga guests. My intention is to play so that the dancers can find themselves in the music and have a good time. I don't have ready-made playlists. I try to carefully observe the atmosphere on the dance floor and depending on it I choose the next tandas. Sometimes, I offer well-known, much-loved melodies, occasionally more demanding for interpretation ones, and at times I find gems, in my opinion, worth being discovered.

Greetings from Toruń and hope to see you here.

Milonga Tu i teraz - Saturday 08/07/23 day

TDJ: Robert Kandefer, Warszawa, PL

Organizator koncertów tanga i regularnej Milongi Tu i Teraz

Bez wątpienia Addicted to Tango. Moja przygoda z tangiem trwa 15 lat i jestem pewien, że tango wciąż będzie moją pasją.

Od 2008r. jestem tdj-em. Od tego czasu grałem na milongach, maratonach i festiwalach w całej Polsce i za granicą (Włochy, Łotwa, Hiszpania, Szwecja, Niemcy, i Rosja). Miałem przyjemność zagrać na imprezach, na których gościły współczesne orkiestry i zespoły tangowe; Roberto Siri Quinteto, Sexteto Milonguero, OT Misteriosa Buenos Aires, Tanghetto, Perfume de Mujer, Duo Ranas, SanLuis Tango, Bandonegro.

Mój styl grania to efekt kilkuletnich poszukiwań i eksperymentów. Jakie są teraz moje Play Listy? Zdecydowanie to tanga z lat czterdziestych ubiegłego wieku z krótkimi wypadami w lata trzydzieste i pięćdziesiąte. Zawsze, kiedy idę prezentować muzykę na milondze staję przed wyzwaniem, jakie tanga wybrać, aby stworzyć oczekiwany na milondze klimat. Na szczęście nie ma dwóch takich samych milong. Różnią je miejsca, pory dnia, ludzie, ich oczekiwania. To powoduje, że do każdej milongi można podjeść indywidualnie. Daje to także ogromne możliwości realizowania własnych pomysłów. Reagowania na sytuację na parkiecie i poza nim. Kreowania emocji poprzez zagranie „tej" muzyki w „tym" czasie.

Mercurio Milonga - Sunday 09/07/23 night

TDJ: Peter Stefanics, Budapest/Gdansk, Hungray/PL

I started playing in the late ‘90s in New York City, then DJ’d and organized milongas in Budapest and Gdansk.

My goal is to inspire both beginner and advanced dancers – to not have too much drama and vary the energy to keep people dancing. I play mostly Golden Age orchestras such as D’Arienzo, Troilo, Biagi, Di Sarli, Tanturi, Pugliese, Calo, Fresedo, D’Agostino, Laurenz & De Angelis in a T-T-M-T-T-V structure with a balance of instrumentals and vocals. Here and there I add some Lomuto, OT Victor, Canaro, Malerba or Carabelli for variety.
