His DJ journey began in the intimate corners of Athens’ local milongas and practicas in 2014, and by 2016, he was spinning tunes at tango events across Europe. In 2022, he made his debut as a DJ in Japan and the USA, showcasing his talent for transforming the dancefloor into a vibrant canvas. With a blend of Golden Age tango classics, a hint of Guardia Vieja, and fresh recordings, he crafts an irresistible atmosphere.
Professional Argentine dancer, Maestra and Milonguera. She started at the age of 6 years in ballet and contemporary dance. She has been dancing tango for 25 years and teaching it for 20 in Argentina and around the world. She traveled practically the entire world participating in congresses, festivals and sharing her dance and teaching with numerous communities. Passionate, and also very studious of tango music, musicalizing and creating a magical atmosphere, typical of a quality of Buenos Aires night. For 13 years she has organized “Practica Las Malevas” in Buenos Aires, an emblematic space that receives tango dancers from all over the world.
Born in Verona in 1983 and since childhood, Ivo has been attracted to music while listening and admiring his grandfather who played the accordion with a vast repertoire including tango compositions. “those hands full of wrinkles, trembling on the keys which produced a sound while besides the rhythm and notes was deeply personal to him, and almost mystical in its source and power to project himself through his music…” this was the pathway for Ivo Ambrosi After years of stage experience as rock and jazz musician, he moved to Rome and met the Tango world where he was instantly overwhelmed by its implying passion. He soon became fanatic in collecting orchestral works as well as Argentine Tango from the renowned “la vecchia Guardia” to contemporary works. From 2010 he began to play his selections as DJ guest in the milongas scattered around the Italian capital city. Ivo Ambrosi is regularly invited as a Tango DJ in different festivals, marathons and regular milonga eves in Italy and elsewhere including: * Guest DJ in local milongas in Italy ( Rome, Milan, Napoli, Firenze, Brescia, Verona, Pescara, Frosinone, Grosseto, Bardolino, Pacengo, Bassano Del Grappa, Mantova, vicenza, Rovereto, Lecce, Palermo, Trento, Pordenone, Castelfranco Veneto, Genova, Perugia, Castel Rigone, Porto S. Giorgio, Civitanova Marche, Ladispoli, Pescara) and all around the world (BsAs, Taipei, Hsinchu, Taichung, Kaohsiung, Tainan, Berlin, Varsow, Krakow, London, Hong kong, Osaka, Tokyo, Nagoya, Ichinomiya, Fukuoka, Seoul, Busan, Changwong, Beijing, Nanjing, Shanghai, Bangkok, Singapore, Helsinki, Zurich)
She joined the Tango world in 1996. Since then, she has been training herself in a 360° way when it comes to the culture of Tango: dance, history, music, lyrics, etc. She describes herself as “First a Milonguera, then a Maestra and finally a Tdj (even though she thinks musicalizer is more appropriate)”. Her first experiences musicalizing took place in heart of Buenos Aires, at Porteño y Bailarín first, and Fulgor de Villa Crespo then (Si sos brujo, Seguime si podes, El entrevero). When she started coming regularly to Rome, thanks to the trust of the organizers, she started doing it more often, always under the sharp eye (and ear) of one of her Maestros Jorge Dispari. That gave her the chance to have a “personalized training” through his accurate, precise and loving feedbacks after every single set, and encouraged her to do it in a systematic and more professional way. Last few years, she started musicalizing in some of the most acknowledged events in Italy and Europe, but you can also find her in local milongas, either in Rome or Buenos Aires. She is convinced that her previous experience, her knowledge of Tango in a holistic way and her “inside milonguera” makes her particularly aware of the dance floor as well as permanently connected to its “temperature” and the dancer’s desires.

Ever since they bumped into each other at a milonga over 10 years ago, tango music has been an endless topic of their conversations. While their DJ careers took different paths, they always shared the same musical taste, vision and drive. That's why each and every time, their DJ tandem is a true spectacle, with its own storyline, unexpected turns, and a climax. They draw their inspiration from the Golden Age classics, which they like to spice up with sweet nostalgia of Guardia Vieja and playfulness of occasional modern orquestas. They believe that a DJ is not a dictator on the dance floor but rather a medium whose job is to channel audience emotional feedback into the best danceable music from the first tanda to the last. Whether you want your heart to race from exhilarating energy or to mellow down with the voice of a weeping violin, you’ll find it all in their music.
