Objectives
This course is designed to introduce anyone interested in exploring the art of DJing a social tango event. It covers important aspects of the genre’s history to better understand the parameters used in milongas and practicas both in Buenos Aires and outside Argentina. It will also be an open space for anyone who wishes to gain a deeper understanding of tango orchestras and the music generally used in milongas.
We will discuss the basic elements of a typical tango orchestra and how to understand its sound. A deep dive will be taken into the “Four Greats”: Troilo, Pugliese, Di Sarli, and D’Arienzo, with a specific module dedicated to each orchestra. We will also explore key aspects of other orchestras included in milonga playlists.
We will talk about important points to consider when creating tandas (music sets), the use of cortinas (transitional music), and key aspects of managing the energy flow at a milonga event.
A special module will be dedicated to discussing recommended DJing software and sound equalization.

Took Nel’s Tango DJing course, and it is absolutely great. The history of tango music as well as the professional technicalities that Nel have shared have refined the way I think about tandas and playlist flow. I have a lot more understanding now while exploring and experimenting with tango music. Highly recommended!
“I just completed Nel’s Mastro Tango Dj series” for those Tango Lover’s and tango music fans Nel will take you into a journey and exploration of skills to discover the interesting world of Tango music from a different perspective. He will teach you how to travel from the different “épocas” and centuries of tango analyzing the sound and quality of the different orchestras. Additionally he will teach how to develop tango dj skills sharing with you a dj music application and his complete tango musical library. Definitely, I truly recommend this course to all Argentine Tango Lover’s around the world. VAMOS 🎶… Jose, Washington, DC
