Federico selects music from the Golden Age of tango music and orchestras to modulate the mood of the Milonga at each given moment, to ensure a wonderful evening for the dancers.”My preference is for the more rhythmic tangos, but in order to ensure a balanced playlist I choose some beautiful melodic tangos, always with the dancers best interests in mind. The highlight for me is at the end of the evening, when I know the dancers have enjoyed my music selection.”Federico is the Director of Dance Tango in Sydney since 2001.
