This blog explores Argentine tango—its dance, music, poetry, and culture—from a perspective of a dancer and DJ who has experienced the latter half of its present global renaisssnace. My aim is to share insights, reflections, and discoveries drawn from my immersion in this world.

I started dancing in London in 2004 and have traveled to major tango hubs like Buenos Aires, New York, Seoul, Tokyo, Berlin, Paris, and Istanbul. As a DJ, I’m active in Seattle and San Francisco, with experience playing in Asia, the Middle East, and North America. This blog reflects that journey—part personal, part exploratory, and always rooted in a deep love of tango’s artistry and traditions.

What you’ll find here will vary, but it may include translations of tango lyrics, reflections on DJing, or thoughts on tango’s evolving culture and history. Whether you’re a dancer, DJ, or merely curious, I hope to share something that deepens your connection to tango.
