Tango Is Alive! | Playlists

I give you my first "progressive tango mix" for 2021, as I would like to call these, a sample of my current tastes and inclinations.

I share my playlist and a few comments on a cross-over milonga I organized, called Nuevo Tango Bar.

A commented DJ set from last night at Klub Joe, a regular Monday morning milonga in Prague that is closing door next week.

It's been a while since I published my recent set, and as there's not been much new music I can review, I guess now is as good a time as ever. The occasion was the regular Monday milonga at Klub Joe in Prague.

I played Saturday night at a festival near Trondheim, Norway, in a place called Hell.

There was a show at this instance of the regular Monday milonga, and as a result, more people than usual showed up. Despite my original intent, no 1960's music made it into my set. I alternated primarily between 1940s, 1950s and 2010s.

The inaugural edition of my milonga has ended up being a fusion of 1940s and 2010s. It has not been pre-determined, and yet I am not surprised. The venue is rather compact, and I did not feel I had enough space to let the 1950s romanticism flourish.

The regular Monday milonga in Prague, Klub Joe, has solid attendance and a good mix of beginning and experienced dancers. As one of two resident DJs, I cater to their dancing pleasure about twice a month. Here's a playlist from a recent evening with a few comments.
