Graziano Sportelli, Italia
I entered the world of tango in 2005, as a tango lover and dancer. I immediately also became passionate about studying tango music. I was given the opportunity to musicalize and become a resident TDJ of a permanent milonga in my province. I continued in many other local milongas and also outside the region in south Italy. Subsequently my musicalization activity was recognized in Italy and the rest of Europe: e.g., England, France, Germany, Poland, Belgium, Austria, Portugal, Spain, Latvia, Albania. My musical preference goes to the tango of the golden age, always sticking to the music of the 20s and 50s. Creating the right energy in milonga is my prerogative.
