Tango DJs
JOSEBA PAGOLA
Joseba Pagola, a resident of Andoain, Basque Country, stands out as an expert connoisseur of the rhythmic variations of orchestras, styles, and the evolution of tango.
He combines his extensive experience as a tango dancer and teacher with his deep knowledge of the history of this musical genre to masterfully select the most appropriate music for each moment of the milonga.
Always attentive to the needs of the dancers, the choice of his tandas is intrinsically linked to the atmosphere of the milonga and the energy flowing on the dance floor.
YATMA DIALLO

In tango, after his first experiences studying in Europe with Mónica María Fumagalli, Susana Miller, Ana Schapira, Jorge Firpo and many others, he spent time in Buenos Aires to further his studies, obtaining, in a few years, interesting professional awards.
In 2019, he distinguished himself at the Milan Metropolitan Championship (Lombarda World Cup selection) as the only dancer to compete and reach the podium in all dance categories: tango, waltz, and milonga.

JOSE DAVID REUS
REUS began his artistic journey as a DJ at the age of 18, during the golden age of vinyl and club culture. From the very start, he built a strong technical foundation and developed a natural talent for reading the dance floor and connecting with the crowd, exploring a wide range of musical styles that shaped his sound identity.
In 1989, he opened his own venue, the Disco-Pub Latino, a pivotal project where he refined his style and mastered the art of creating intense and dynamic atmospheres. During this period, he also expanded his presence in the music scene by hosting a weekly radio show focused on the latest disco trends.
Driven by artistic curiosity, he trained in theatre and film acting, taking part in stage performances and audiovisual productions. At the same time, he worked professionally as a sales specialist in sound systems, gaining deep technical knowledge and developing a strong appreciation for high-quality audio as a key element of the musical experience.
Although his DJ career was already flourishing, tango had always been part of his life thanks to the influence of his maternal grandfather, originally from San Juan (Argentina). This personal connection inspired him in 2005 to begin an intense process of researching, collecting, and remastering tangos, valses, and milongas. The result is a carefully curated collection recognized for its exceptional sound quality.
In 2008, he founded the milonga “La Pasional” in Benidorm, where he continues as the resident DJ. Still active today, it has become a true reference point, known for its authentic atmosphere and a musical selection that is both traditional and vibrant.
With more than 18 years of experience as a Tango DJ, José David Reus has played at major tango events in Spain and across Europe, including France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Hungary, and Norway. To date, he has DJed more than 1,000 milonga sets, including over 100 at international festivals, marathons, and tango encuentros.
Beyond DJing, he is also a dancer, teacher, and organizer, giving him a complete perspective of tango and an exceptional ability to understand what the floor needs. His musical style is known for an intelligent energy build-up, deep respect for tradition, and a unique sensitivity for maintaining the emotional atmosphere of the milonga—creating tandas that invite not only dancing, but true feeling.
His signature lies in the way he shapes the energy of the room and builds a musical narrative where elegance, power, and emotion take center stage. Because his musicalization doesn’t simply accompany the dance floor — it leads it, inspires it, and sets it on fire, turning every milonga into an unforgettable musical journey.

High energy from the first tango until we took off our shoes, curtains to enjoy, and a mix of rhythmic and melodic tandas to inspire the tango to flow in every fan.
