Melbourne Tango Orchestra –
Returning to MTW IN 2025
“Doing away with cliché, the Melbourne Tango Orchestra is contemporary, urban and edgy. Situated somewhere between chamber music and a smoky, underground tango joint, the orchestra offers a unique listening experience. Delivering a hefty sound, the orchestra features the notorious bandoneón, the quintessential symbol of Argentinean tango.These fierce musicians bring the underworld figures of tango to life.”
DJ Karen
Karen started her tango career in Bogota, Colombia in 2016. In 2018, she won the National professional salon Championship in Colombia followed by being a finalist in the Tango Mundial in Argentina in 2019. She has also extensively studied Flamenco and has performed in numerous shows.
During this time, Karen was teaching tango classes and performing in various well known tango companies in Colombia.
Karen migrated to Australia in 2022 to study and also begin work at Tango Esencia as a teacher and performer. During this time, Karen also began to formally DJ as she had been building her Tango collection for years. Her deep understanding of the Orchestras history, the lyrics and the nuances in the music helps her in curating wonderful nights of music where she has been a DJ at all of the major milongas in Melbourne.
DJ Dimitra
Dimitra started dancing the Argentinian Tango in 2005 and made her djing debut in Athens – Greece in 2007.
As primarily a tango dancer, her selections guarantee a broad variety of orchestras and rhythms that keep the dancing floor ‘hot’ from the beginning to the end.
DJ José
José grew up in Argentina listening to tango from his parents’ record player. He has been dancing tango for many years, and DJing at milongas organized by himself and friends in Bariloche, Patagonia.
His love for tango is divided: he is both a dancer and a musician. He likes to combine these aspects when he can – he established and directed a tango sextet in Argentina and currently plays bandoneon with The Melbourne Tango Orchestra. He has travelled extensively to “encuentros de tangueros” across Argentina to hear the new wave of contemporary tango orchestras reviving the live music tradition, and he loves to throw a few newer tandas in between all the classic orchestras. His personality as a DJ is energetic and at times dramatic, and prefers music that is fun and rich in details. His ultimate goal is to provide a great night for all and to see smiles at the end of the embrace.
