José grew up in Argentina listening to tango from his grandparents’ 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.

play, and upon returning to Melbourne (having bought many cds!), began to hone his skills by
DJing at local milongas. Along with his first teacher, Nadim started a free CD library service and
encouraged others to take up this role.
Nadim has been invited to conduct DJ workshops in Australia to further encourage the education
and number of active DJs in the scene. Over the years, he has also received invitations to DJ at large
festivals around Australia and Japan, as well as at regular milongas.
At Nadim & Rina's studio, Tango Esencia, they continue to educate on the important role DJs play.
They encourage those who want to take up the art to begin their journey at practicas, and support
them in transitioning to the main Milonga through their musicality and music awareness program.
In addition to his love of dance, Nadim is an avid and lifelong music student, having played the
cello in orchestras and riffing on his guitar on most days.
