TDJ Carlo Carcano

Intuire, nutrire e plasmare l’onda di ogni momento perché la milonga sia vissuta in una dimensione di piacere è il principio più importante che anima la mia programmazione musicale.  Musicalizzo regolarmente in luoghi vari e differenti, da piccole milonghe locali a grandi festival internazionali e il mio dj set è sempre costruito con tandas e cortinas, abbraccia un periodo che va dagli anni ’20 alle orchestre tipiche ballabili contemporanee e modella le scelte storiche e energetiche sullo spirito di ogni milonga. Alla passione con cui scelgo i brani contribuiscono la mia professione di compositore, arrangiatore e produttore musicale, e l’esperienza di ballerino di tango che coltivo da anni, studiando, tenendo seminari di musicalità e soprattutto ballando in milonga.
