Deborah Segantini, Almabruja for tango friends, plays a selection of traditional music that ranges from 30s to 50s, organized into tandas and cortinas. All the major Orquestras are always present. In this moment she has a real soft spot for De Caro, Laurenz and Tipica Victor. She adores Pugliese. On certain evenings a modern tanda can slip, a mixed tanda usually containing some older music too, or a Chacarera or Swing cortina.
She tells about herself: "I construct tandas as a dancer and I select them according to the interpretation of the messages coming from the dance floor, in the belief that the DJ should provide service to the dancers. I play music with a dual purpose: to free the largest number of chairs in the room and... satisfy the ear of those who, by will, fatigue or a bit of bad luck, remain seated.
The rarest piece of the evening is never just for ears and I try to propose it with respect to the balance created during the evening. Deep respect and sincere admiration for Piazzolla's tango, but I reserve the right to hear it at home with a good red wine glass :)"
