BUILDING a TANDA like an Argentine DJ- MORE LISTS!


Some notes about building a tanda from Jose Petrisko

1. In the tanda it works to mix the artists,  but keep the pieces of music within 1 or 2 years of the release date of the other pieces.

 2. Build from a slower piece to a faster, faster and faster piece in one tanda. Jose counts the beats for about 30 seconds to organize the music in this way.

3. In the next tanda reverse from the faster pieces and end with something slower.

4. Don’t mix vocals with instrumentals.

And my one addition to this is to play music we love. With so many to choose from in our extensive collection this should be easy.  Jose thinks that most dj’s use the same 200 pieces over and over. But why when there are so many great tangos?
