Under the Stars Milonga with TDJ Nikolaos Kletsas

Nikolaos Kletsas, https://www.facebook.com/kletsasn, studied and worked as an electronic and computer engineer for over 30 years. Utilizing his technical knowledge in electronics and computer science, he selects melodious, dramatic, and passionately infused tango pieces that he has already enhanced through digital processing.

He is captivated by the Golden Age of Argentine tango, with a focus on Tango Salon. He prefers to choose tandas (sets of tango songs) from authentic orchestras of Argentine tango rather than modern ones.

His main concern is the musical coherence of the songs within a tanda, aiming for a complete tanda to sound like the same song performed in different versions. Additionally, he emphasizes the alternation of dynamics and dramatic introspection in the tandas of the milonga in order to captivate the dancers.

His favorite composers include Juan D’Arienzo, Rodolfo Biagi, Carlos Di Sarli, Anibal Troilo, and others.
