Tango Festival DJs
Matteo Radaelli - Italy / RSA
Matteo is from Milan, having moved to Cape Town 12 years ago. He has been dancing tango for 20 years, and as a passionate traveler, wherever he goes around the world his tango shoes are must in his luggage! Music is a crucial part of Tango dancing. Going deeper into knowing and understanding Tango songs and compositions has opened even more space for him loving it. In the last few years listening, searching and acknowledging old and new orchestra’s masterpieces, building playlists and DJing at regular Milongas, Tango events and Festivals has become a part of his growth.
Johan Steyn - RSA
Johan has DJ'd and presented DJ workshops across Europe for 16 years. A keen collector of Tango tracks from the "Golden Era" of Tango, his style is traditional, informative and egoless. With his focus on the dance floor he seeks to create those moments of quiet enjoyment and inner smiles when the air is filled with only music and the gentle shuffling of feet.
