Music selection

The choice of music makes all the difference at a Milonga, so we pay particular attention to the music played at the Eton milongas.

 

You can expect the very best traditional tango, milonga and vals from the 'Golden Age'. Favourite artists are Di Sarli, Canaro, Rodriguez, D'Arienzo, Calo, Fresedo & Biagi.

 

Every track is chosen for being wonderful for dancing, and Charles is constantly adjusting the selection to suit the mood on the dance floor.

 

Tracks are played in tandas, with cortinas. In the evenings we display the current & forthcoming tanda information to help you choose your dances.

 

At Eton milongas we don't play modern music (if you like dancing to more modern mix of music then try our "Junction 8" events).

 

There are no interruptions for birthday dances, salsa & jive breaks, or chacarera, and we only make an announcement if there's an urgent problem.

 

 

Unsolicited comments about Charles' DJ-ing at Eton milongas

 

"Great music selection, in tandas, and selected live in response to the crowd, not a preselected CD compilation. I've never been disappointed with the music here."

 

"I am so so grateful for the work that you do. The music makes the night for me and on Saturday I felt you went to an even higher level. I really enjoy, the mixture of delicious classics . ... I love a comfortable journey of discovery"

"not a single dud tanda .. this guy plays only the best music, music that you can actually dance to - not music to get too cerebral or clever about - the classics that everyone loves, the stuff that touches your soul and moves body."

 

"Brilliant music, tanda after tanda. We're very lucky to benefit from your professionalism"

 

"Really the best selection of music - I've attended a number of milongas elsewhere in the region and in London and find many venues to play such similar tracks that each one seems to blend into the next until it becomes monotonous - never feel this to be true of Eton music"

 

"One of the greats at Eton.........."
