Performers at Ljubljana International Tango Festival:
CHICHO FRUMBOLI & JUANA SEPULVEDA
Mariano “Chicho” Frumboli & Juana Sepulveda are an integral part of today’s international tango scene. No other couple combines so well rhythm and virtuosity with silken smoothness. Their dance ranges between strength and lightness, humor and seriousness, lasciviousness, and forward movement. Their teaching is sophisticated and encourages each dancer to find new concepts for his/her own dance repertoire.

CARLO CARCANO
To feel, feed and shape the “onda” of each instant in order to let the pleasure grow and flow it’s the most important principle of my musical selection. I have been djing in many sites from tiny milongas to the hugest international festivals and my dj set is always built on tandas & cortinas, embracing a period from the ’20s to contemporary orchestras, modelling my hystoric and energetic choices on the mood of each milonga. Alongside being a passionate tango dancer, I am a composer and musical producer and this contributes to the care and craftsmanship with which I nurture my selections.

JOËL SILVA
I started Tango in 2008, practicing and going to Milongas became my favourite activities. My first Tango DJ experience was in 2010 and ever since I’ve been exploring orchestras and creating stories with tandas.
I would describe my sets as balanced between soft and rhythmical, building tandas in a crescendo, finishing with the best.

SERGIO PISCITELLO
Sergio Piscitello comes directly from Palermo, Italy. Eclectic and dreamer, he is constantly inspired by his great sensitivity to the mood and atmosphere on the dance floor.
Sergio’s DJ style is mainly traditional with a nice mix of the classics. He keeps the energy high with a nice blend of the 30s, 40s and 50s, in traditional tandas with fun cortinas.
After years of experience with tango festivals and marathons Sergio has acquired a deep knowledge of tango music.
