1/2026 La Juan D'Arienzo - Este Es el Rey
Recreating the style of "El rey del Compás" Juan D'Arienzo.
Welcome to this week's tanda!
Thank you for all the subscibers and fans of Tanda of the Week! Your support means a lot! Here's a tanda for everyone celebrating the end of 2025 and start of 2026. Hope you had a good one! And may 2026 be better. 😄
One of my highlights as a tango DJ and dancer, was to witness the phenomenon that was and still is La Juan D'Arienzo. The 2012 founded orchestra (by Facundo Lázzari), was performing at the World of Tango festival in Finland on their world tour, goin' each and every place with bandoneons in their hands: NY, Finland, London, Tokyo.
We were absolutely blown away just by their sound check as they warmed up to "Este Es el Rey" in full force. And once they got on stage and in front of the dancing crowd at the Grand Milonga of the former World of Tango Festival, nothing was the same as before. They lit up a fire in the hearts of the dancers, and that fire still hasn't faded. We got to witness the heritage of Juan D'Arienzo performed better and grander than ever before.
