I’m Beatriz Diaz.
Tango DJ & lover of tango.
About me
I was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, to parents who love tango. My mother is a pianist and has been playing tango music ever since I can remember. My father adores Carlos Gardel and tango in general and would always listen to tango on the radio. As you can see, I grew up in a household where tango was loved. My grandfather was also a huge fan of tango music and painted a portrait of Carlos Gardel over 50 years ago, in fact he was also from Tacuarembo.
I started DJing in Sydney in 2018. My DJing passion and style is traditional golden age music with very danceable rhythms. I believe in playing the best and most danceable tracks to get people moving both physically and emotionally. My ultimate goal is to ensure that everyone has a great time and they leave the milonga feeling on top of the world.
I have DJed at all major
milongas in Sydney,
