DJ team of Tallinn Tango Weekend 2025
DJ Gianpio Cappucci
(Italy)
10 years ago in Buenos Aires Gianpio Cappucci starts his experience as a Tdj playing in several “milongas Porteñas”. Since 2016 he lives in Krakow, Poland, playing constantly all over the country and rest of Europe. His favorite orchestra ever??.. Anibal Troilo!! “I feel responsible to build a bridge between me and the crowd on the dance floor and establishing a communication which is extremely important in order to feel all kind of vibes we all are able to create”. Categorically traditional, he loves tandas from the Gonden Age of Tango (1939-1946) In fact, the 80% of his selection is composed by tandas belonging to that period. Tandas from ‘30 and ‘50 complete the selection.
DJ BERNT ANDREAs DRANGE
(Norway/Finland)
DJ Andrés started putting music in Bergen in 2007, with the aim of being better than the CD-s they usually used for dancing. His ambitions grew quickly - seeing how important the music was for the atmosphere and the enjoyment the dancers present showed.
Bernt's musical selection will carry us through the Golden Age of tango, with a spotlight on the "big four": Troilo, Di Sarli, Pugliese, and the King of the beat – D’Arienzo. These orchestras have greatly shaped tango history and are an absolute delight to dance to. Bernt's mission is to create an atmosphere where dancers can express themselves freely, adding the essence of passion and emotion to every step.
DJ Alisa Zurmutai
(Latvia)
Alisa is always doing the best to bring to the dancers the most positive Golden Age music and perhaps some extra not Golden Age sparks to make everyones Sunday night filled with heartwarming memories which makes you to wish to come back again.
DJ Florian Hunziker
(Switzerland)
Florian started dancing tango in 2007 without knowing anything about Argentine tango music, to get some “easy” credits for his classical music studies. The new world he discovered got him addicted, has never let him go and keeps drawing him even deeper; he started learning Spanish to understand tango better and is working on a musicology master thesis on Troilo/Ruiz. He has enjoyed greatly DJing at the local milongas and international events in Switzerland, Italy and Ireland.
Florian aims to play a diverse set throughout the milonga, to meet as many musical tastes as possible. He loves to dance to many different orchestras and periods, however his “secret favourite” is Pedro Laurenz which never fails to make him want to dance…
DJ Marina Rusakova
(Estonia)
Originally from Estonia, Marina has been regularly DJ-ing in Tallinn since 2016 and has played at various milongas and events around Europe: in Estonia, Latvia, Finland, Russia, Switzerland, Italy, Portugal. Being in love with traditional tango music she creates the atmosphere of trust and inspiration for dancers, giving to them diversity and energy.
DJ Alla Drugova
(Ukraine)
Alla Drugova was a co-founder and teacher of Argentine tango and folklore at Taras & Alla's Tango School in Kyiv. Passionate fan of Osvaldo Pugliese and tireless researcher of various styles of tango dancing. Alla dived deep into tango over fifteen years ago and this music continues to fascinate her during the lessons, milongas or in the process of creating the next tanda. She prefers to play exactly what catches and touches her as a social dancer because at the milonga we just want to dance. When choosing a tanda she usually thinks which orchestra has that magic that lifts even very tired milongueros from comfy chairs now and makes them run to the dance floor. Often she finds these features in Golden Age orchestras and in some later compositions. She believes that the musical mood should change throughout the milonga and she strives to ensure that tandas are never boring or too similar. Her ideal milonga is the one after which you may not remember exactly what kind of music was played, but you feel that you had a great time and maybe fell in love a little.
DJ Margus Kivi
(Estonia)
Once he became an organiser of a Kalamaja milonga at an Argentinian restaurant in Tallinn, he also started trying his skills as a DJ with the success, simultaneously improving his own dancing style, and becoming a husband and a father. We can only feel envious of Margus’ vitality and energy!
