About the Event

For the twelfth time SaTho Tango invites you to "Noches de Invierno" at Reichenau Palace in the Rax mountains, 100 km south of Vienna. Dancers from all over the world meet for a weekend of traditional music from five international DJs: 21 hours of dancing from Friday afternoon to Sunday evening on 330 sqm of parquet in the palace's ballroom. The hallmark of the encuentro milonguero is close embrace. Dances are invited by mirada and cabeceo, the ratio of leaders and followers is balanced, and emotion, passion and respectful, friendly contact come first. Participation is limited to 220 guests; registrations are selected to keep roles, women and men, and international and local guests in balance. Coffee breaks, buffet and all drinks at the palace are included in the ticket, as is the guided walk through Reichenau on Saturday morning. On the Thursday before there is a warm-up milonga with the Viennese tango orchestra ViTa MusicA, which is open to guests without an encuentro ticket as well.

Fabiòla Loik

Italien

Fabiòla modestly describes herself like this: "I simply try to play traditional Argentine tango that is nice to dance to." She has played at many international events such as Experiencia Milonguera at Villa Giacomelli, Dans te Bras in Paris, Alpine Abrazo in Mallnitz and Caminata por el Lago at Lake Balaton. She lives, dances and explores tango in Trieste.

Hans Peter Salzer

Deutschland

DJ Salzer lives in Ravensburg near Lake Constance and has been DJing since 1999, by now at many international milongas, festivals, balls and encuentros. From the start he has been captivated by the wealth of melodies and the musical variety of traditional tango; his favourite tangos go straight to heart, head and legs.

Max Marzano

Italien

Max Marzano is a traditional tango DJ through and through and a collector of original 78 rpm shellacs, especially D'Arienzo recordings from 1936 to 1939. He wants to convey the spirit of the milongas porteñas and plays regularly at Rome's most important milongas as well as at festivals and marathons across Europe and worldwide. In 2014 and 2015 he organised the "Milonga Academia" in Rome.

Salima Barzanti

Italien

Salima found tango by chance when her tango school held a milonga on the main square of Conegliano (Treviso). Since then she has been steadily broadening her musical knowledge, always with the dancers' heartbeat in mind. Her tango is traditional but never ordinary. Since 2014 she has been the resident DJ of "Blumilonga" in Conegliano and plays at encuentros and milongas in Italy and abroad. Her motto: "Energy on the dance floor first of all!"

Theo Chatzipetros

Griechenland / Italien

Theo plays traditional music from the late twenties to the late fifties, with a focus on the forties, and adapts the music to the mood of the dancers. He is a member of the Association Tangofirenze in Impruneta and co-founder of its "Raduno milonguero", where he was resident DJ from 2007 to 2014. He has played at milongas, encuentros, festivals and marathons all over Europe and gives musicality and DJ workshops.

Hans Leutscher
