I have been in the music world since I was 13, with various experiences as a non-professional musician (acoustic and electric guitars, electric bass, sequencer, arranger and keyboards) in different situations: piano bar, dance evenings, amateur festivals, recitals and shows. I am an expert in musical forms and I love Italian and foreign folk music, blues, rock, fusion and progressive. Since 2011, I have been Tj at the Association "el Tango de mi Vida" in Termoli, of which I was one of the founding members together with my partner Lisa. My passion for tango took me to various Italian regions, both as a Tj and as a dancer, until 2019. In the same period, in addition to proposing my musical choices in Italian milongas, in 2014 I participated in the book/cd project Xena-tango (by friend and journalist Giampiero Vigorito, with music by Bacalov and Roberta Alloisio) as the author of a story and in 2015 I contributed to the concert/theatre show “viaggio nel Tango e nelle note di Astor Piazzolla”, creating the lyrics, acting and dancing with Lisa and the trio of musicians "el Viaje". Since 2023, after the stop due to the pandemic, I have resumed my activity as a Tj and tango dancer with renewed enthusiasm, also in other contexts, animating the milongas on tango cruises in the company of wonderful masters such as Mariana Montes and Pablo Garcia, and abroad, starting from wonderful Istanbul, with its historical milongas. This expansion of horizons was possible thanks to my passion for other musical styles that are reflected in my musical choices during the milongas. I often participate in courses, workshops and festivals to improve my personal style and keep my music fresh. I believe that tango is a living language, constantly evolving and belonging to everyone: everyone can participate but no one can appropriate it or limit or cage it. I am committed to quality events not aimed only at commercialization or fashion, but at spreading the culture of tango. I am a Tj, but also a dancer, and not infrequently, I prefer to "disappear" from the console to feel the atmosphere even more directly from the dance floor and adapt my selections even better to the needs of couples. This double role, which often sees me participate in fantastic marathons as a tango dancer, means that I am not so often free to put on music but, what can you do, passion is passion, I would never have been a Tj if I had not fallen in love with dancing first. The great advantage, however, is that before proposing a song, I have always had the opportunity to personally try it out by dancing, thus ensuring that my musical selections are not abstruse or self-celebratory, but are truly danceable, as well as pleasant to listen to. So, my goal is to make sure that those who attend the milongas leave happy, dancing or even just listening to great music. I think that the Tj is not the master of the milonga, but must be at the service of the people on the dance floor: their enjoyment and the passion that the music evokes are the only real priority. So, what you're waiting for? Hug each other and dance!
