at the MILONGA @ Alberto's on Sunday, May 20

For many year, Osvaldo Natucci was the musical coordinator and DJ at the historic milonga El Beso, one of the most prestigious milongas in Buenos Aires.

For ten consecutive years, Osvaldo was the official DJ of the Tango Festival organized by the Government of the City of Buenos Aires. It is his tandas which the dancers are using to compete in the Metropolitan Championship and World Championship of Tango in Buenos Aires. Osvaldo has taught several seminars on the music of tango for dancers and DJs, and he has trained many DJs who are in now in high demand in the milongas of Buenos Aires.
Osvaldo Natucci was born in 1940 in Florida, a neighborhood of the Vicente López Partido in the northern suburbs of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Osvaldo came from a generation where to be a “buen Porteño” you needed to meet two mandates: to play soccer and dance tango well. That was how he developed his passion for the music and the dance.
