Zagreb Embrace

Image
In 2015, a dream came of a weekend full of tango, with the very best maestros the world could offer, 
beautiful music played by talented DJs and nights spent in warm embraces. And so, out of love, passion and yearning... Zagreb Embrace was born.
This year we continue that tradition - learning from the best, enjoying passionate tandas and being inspired by the maestros' performance.
Join us and let's embrace Zagreb together!

DJs

DJ PERHAJ (Hrvatska)
DJ PERHAJ (Hrvatska)
Music and DJing were his passions even before tango, and then he was drawn by the drama, rhythm, and romance of the Golden Age orchestras. With a simple philosophy that every tanda should be a good tanda, DJ Perhaj has a goal in mind. And be prepared beacause he aims for the "next day curse". When it's really late, people are exhausted but nevertheless they can't get off the floor. And they curse him the next day. ;)
DJ DUŠICA (Srbija)
DJ DUŠICA (Srbija)
When she is at the DJ desk, Dušica will always make sure that the atmosphere on the podium is just right! She especially enjoys tangos from the Golden Age, and as a DJ, apart from Belgrade milongas, she often plays music at festivals all over Europe. With her selection of tandas, be prepared that you won't have a chance to sit still!
DJ PAVLE (Hrvatska)
DJ PAVLE (Hrvatska)
An avid aficionado for tango music, DJ Pavle has been creating tandas for events in Zagreb with passion and enthusiasm. His playlists take you on a musical journey – from wild energy to nostalgic melancholy, from anguish to sweet tenderness.
DJ VLADO (Slovenija)
DJ VLADO (Slovenija)
Vlado has been DJing since 2010 and since then he regularly selects music at milongas all over Slovenia, Croatia, Austria, Italy... His music selection will take you on a journey to the very heart of the Golden Age of Tango. His motto is clear: "Every true milonga stands on the pillars of the big four (Di Sarli, Pugliese, Troilo, D'Arienzo)."

Beltango

Founded in Belgrade in 1998 by the renowned professor, bandoneonist, and composer Aleksandar Nikolić, Beltango quinteto presents a rich repertoire ranging from traditional tango to compositions of Astor Piazzolla and their own "Balkango" opus.

Having performed over 1,200 concerts in numerous countries worldwide, Beltango is acclaimed for their versatility and captivating performances. Notably, they are the only tango orchestra from Europe invited by the Ministry of Culture of Buenos Aires to perform at the prestigious "World Tango Festival – Buenos Aires 2007."
