He has been continuing his DJing adventure, which he started with Latin music since his university years, with Argentine Tango for the last 8 years. You can meet him at a DJ ing desk anywhere in the world. His style of playing music is very personal and starts with a history that begins with the tango of the 1930s, gradually developing into the 1950s and recent orquestras are not also an exception ın hıs performances. But all is very dynamic and the dancers are setting the changes. Understanding the native Spanish language of each song Ricardo aims to tell a story with music in a flow and emotion that will touch all participants through the whole duration of the Milonga with real music passion.

Claudio Coppola
(Paris)
Claudio Coppola is from Naples. After completing his degree in psychology, he took up tango in 2003, learning from the very best, and has not stopped practising it since.
He has been living in France since 2011 and teaches regularly in Paris and across Europe. His teaching philosophy is based entirely on “respect and attentiveness towards one’s partner, on connection, on spontaneous and relaxed movement, on improvisation and, above all, on fun!”
Claudio is also a DJ, renowned for his musical sensitivity and his skills as a musician. He has been involved in music production for over four years, having discovered the richness and diversity of the greatest tango orchestras. He finds immense satisfaction and, above all, great emotion in getting people to dance. For him, a successful milonga is one where the dancers may be tired by the end, but it is such a pleasant tiredness! To achieve this, he draws on the resources of classical orchestras, which are full of energy but, above all, very melodic.
El Vladi
(Heidelberg)
Vladi discovered tango many years ago, but it was in 2018 that it truly became a passion. Since then, he has immersed himself in tango music, refining his understanding of the orchestras and styles. With deep respect for the art form and a keen ear for sound quality, he is always searching for high-quality transfers that preserve the character of historic recordings. He began DJing at local milongas in the Rhine-Neckar region and has since played at milongas and various events featuring live music and shows. Rooted in traditional tango, his sets reflect a special love for the rhythmic drive and melodic richness of the Golden Age. He values balance, variety and musical coherence, always with the dancers in mind.
