Another wonderful edition of Winter Tango München at the beautiful Hubertussaal in Schloss Nymphenburg. Thank you to all dancers, DJs, and musicians who made it possible.
Bandonegro is a world-class Polish tango orchestra, one of the most intriguing and recognisable performers of this musical style. Their incredible passion, ideas for music, fresh sound and unique style that is perfect for dancing have won the hearts of audiences all over the world. At the very beginning of their career, when they were 18, Bandonegro won the international competition 'PIF Castelfidardo' in Italy, and only a year later, they recorded their first album 'Tango Nuevo by Astor Piazzolla'. Since then, they have been constantly intensifying their activities aimed at the promotion of the tango in Poland by performing in prestigious concert halls, philharmonics and musical theatres.
Max Romano was born in Naples, Italy and there in the heart of his city, passion, inventiveness and a pinch of craziness grew within him. Engaged in Italy and abroad, as Tango DJ, he proposes traditional music from the much loved orchestras of the Argentine tango's Golden Age which span the spectrum of emotions. Listening carefully to the energy on the dance floor, he creates his own vibe, allowing each tango, every night, to become the basis of a story interpreted in a new and unique way. Because this, for him, Tango is: that magical moment when dreams of the heart take flight!
Alice Pollak from Stuttgart discovered tango in 2008, quickly diving into DJing at international tango events. With vibrant energy and an intuitive feel for the dance floor, she seamlessly connects dancers through each tanda, capturing the essence of tango's Golden Age. Alice's selections are dynamic and heartfelt, with a special love for the genius of Pugliese, Troilo, and the rhythmic pulse of D'Arienzo, drawing dancers together in unforgettable moments.
Marta from the beautiful city of Oporto started to dance Tango in 2008 and from 2010 began to get more intimate with tango music and slowly got into the 'musicalizator' life. Marta has been dj-ing at several international tango marathons, such as 'La Cita de los Amigos' (Belgium), 'Tango Jam' (Germany), 'Belle Epoque' (Italy), 'Milonga des 4 Saisons' (France), and also at various international Tango events in Portugal. Her 'style' as a DJ can be summarized as 'High Energy' but she is also an experienced 'milonga reader' and always manages to lead the dancers into the right mood. When she plays, travelling around the magical Tango Golden Age Era, each tanda whispers a story and D'Arienzo is definitely her favorite storyteller.
Melina has been dj-ing – and greatly enjoying it – since 2004. She has worked at countless encuentros, festivals and milongas all over Europe and the USA. Her top priorities are uncompromising danceability as well as a choice of music that systematically varies rhythmic and lyrical tandas and spices the mixture with a little bit of drama, whilst presenting classical music from the late 20s to the 50s in tandas and with cortinas.
As soon as Baki started to DJ, he experienced the joy of catching the atmosphere of a moment and share it with those present. It has been his passion from that day on, to enchant dancers with these incomparable moods that only tango is able to create. Baki is looking forward to grant deep insights into his passion with his beautiful music.
Melina and Detlef have been teaching social tango in a close embrace all over Europe and the USA since 2001. Their focus is on musicality, communication and improvisation.
In their classes, Detlef and Melina explore the foundations of movement in order to develop a better connection to one's own body, the partner and the music.
