Cada tanda va con la energia que es reciproca con los bailarines en la pista.
Antonio Martinez, Argentinian from Buenos Aires, a well-known and much appreciated teacher and dancer of tango, had the opportunity to gain his experience as “musicalizador” in Buenos Aires when he was collaborating with the organization Unitango. During that time he was the regular DJ at the weekly milonga that Unitango organized at Confiteria Ideal, the historic cafe’ of the “tango porteño”. During his years in Argentina he also collaborated with several milongas in La Plata (in the province of Buenos Aires).
Antonio is very much inspired by the work of Carlos Rey, the resident DJ of some of the best traditional milongas of Buenos Aires, like “Cachirulo” and “Lujos” at El Beso.
Since moving to Italy Antonio has been gaining a strong reputation as musicalizador thanks to his classic, but yet very personal and original selections. He creates well-balanced tandasof music from the 30’s, the 40’s and the 50’s.
Among his many appearances, in Italy he has Dj’ed at the first, third and fourth edition of the Festivalito in Montecatini Terme as well as the Milonga di Tango Firenze in Impruneta, the milonga at Circolo Gardel in Modena, la milonga de La Torcacita in Bologna, Puntataco Milonga in Fucecchio, the Milonga of Traspiè Tango in Perugia.
In Europe he has Dj’ed several times at “Carablanca Tango Club Milonga” in London, at “Corrientes Social Club” in London, at “Cafetìn de Buenos Aires” both in its original location in Frankfurt and twice in their new home in Hofheim, at the Milonga at “Tango Mania” in Saabrücken (Germany), “La Peniche” in Metz (France), at “Geburtstagsball Destinotango" in Frankfurt, at the “Abrazos” tango festival in Totnes (UK), at Wilmslow Cheshire Tango in the UK and at the popular Sunday "Milonguita" in Mainz.

Las cortinas, como un balsamo, descansan en el corazon, para volver en otro abrazo, como un bailarin de sueños."
