***Mariano Bejarano, Tango Dancer, DJ, Organizer***
Mariano has DJ’d for over seven years, and regularly plays 8-10 hours a week of tango music for milongas and practicas. He is constantly researching and digging around in the archives of tango music. As a DJ, Mariano’s main concern is always to keep people dancing. For him, DJ’ing is a dynamic relationship with the dancers and unique every time – requiring the DJ to be perceptive of mood, skill level, and flexible with the music. For this reason, Mariano never prepares a list of tandas. He knows the ultima tanda, but every other tanda – and cortina – will be a response to the energy of the dancers. In addition to DJ’ing his milongas in Miami, Mariano has been invited to DJ in Buenos Aires, Rosario, and at milongas in cities throughout the United States (San Diego, Los Angeles, Tampa, Gulfport, St. Petersburg, Orlando, Houston, Chicago, Austin, New York, New Orleans) and at festivals including Fantasy Festival (Miami), Florida Tango Festival (Ft Lauderdale), Red Carpet Tango (Las Vegas), One City Tango Marathon (Newport News, VA), UTF Festival (Tampa), and Tango Gypsy Marathon (Detroit).
