Saturday Milonga with Performance by Rebecca Shulman and Josh Rigley Guest DJ: Rebecca Shulman (New York) Saturday, September 26th |
|
|
Saturday, September 26th 8:30PM-12:00AM Event Fee $20 Special dance with DJ Rebecca Shulman + performance by Rebecca Shulman and Josh Rigley
About Rebecca: Rebecca's known more as a tango dancer and teacher, but as part of hosting long-running milongas and practicas in New York, has been playing music for tango dancers steadily since 1992. That means starting with a set of tape cassettes, if you can imagine, made by a DJ called Abel in Buenos Aires, later graduating to CDs, and moving along with technological advances, always expanding her knowledge of tango music and her experience of what a tango event would benefit from and enjoy in the moment. In this photo her eyes are closed, but she DJs with her eyes and ears wide open, loves Golden Age tango music, swoons over many a melody, sings along, grooves to a good rhythm, and tries not to foist too many ancient orchestras on you, although she loves those, too.

Maria took up Tango in 2003 and since then she has learned from a big variety of dance Masters in all the styles of the social dance. This makes her an extremely versatile dancer and an open minded instructor who values equally all the different theories about how tango should be look and feel like.

About Semiral Semiral began DJing Tango in 1996 with a small collection of CDs and a passion for keeping dancers on the floor. A trip to Buenos Aires in 1998 introduced him to the rich Golden Age tango music of the 1940s and ’50s, which deeply shaped his musical style. In 1999, Semiral introduced tandas and cortinas to Vancouver and later hosted one of the city’s first Tango DJ workshops. Over the years, he has DJed at festivals and milongas across North America and Europe, including Portland, New York, Seattle, Halifax, Calgary, Berlin, London, and Istanbul.

Saturday Milonga with guest DJ Bill Howard (Salt Lake City) Saturday, December 12th
From
informal practicas to outside events in parks and from under
cherry blossoms at the State House in Salt Lake to Encuentros I
have enjoyed playing in all sorts of venues in
Arizona California, Utah, Montana, Oregon and Idaho. This year
I started to branch out a little and played at milongas in
Lisbon, Portugal.
With
extra effort I find the best sounding versions of all of the
songs including importing from BA tango music clubs and European
sources. The high quality tracks from the digital archives of
Tango Tunes and Tango Time Travel now make up the majority of
what I play.
I work
hard to get the best possible sound out of the system using a
variety of software and plugins to clean up and engineer the
sound to the room.
Overall
I choose music that I myself love to dance to and the recordings
from the late 30s and early 40s are the ones that inspire me the
most. I carefully choose the music that will keep the dancers
surfing on the wave of the music.
