MICHELE SOTTOCASA
Michele Sottocasa got close to Argentine Tango in 2005, accidentally, as many of us. He was immediately attracted by the history of the orchestras and this transoceanic culture. Researching music made him become a tango DJ. After 5 years of studies, he began to DJ in his school and then in other places from Veneto. Then he gets his first gigs in other regions and internationally, particularly in France, his second go-to country for tango. In 2012, he had his first experience as an international event organizer at Bologna, an event which welcomes around 400 people from all around the world every year.
His answer to the question "why such passion for Argentine Tango?"
"I have always been attracted by popular music, and Tango in particular, because it was born over there next to the Rio Plata, between Buenos Aires and Montevideo, and also due to a majority of Italian immigrants, which makes it so that i feel it belonging to me, with sounds that remind me of our beautiful country, therefore an Italian pride!"
