Guillermo Blando
Guille’ for his friends and family, he has been a passionate dancer and esteemed member of the tango family in Southern California for more than a decade. He left his beloved Argentina many years ago, arriving in the US with a young family and a few pieces of luggage in pursuit of his dreams. Guille grew up in Argentina at a time when tango was almost forgotten, outside of the big capital city where the last tango legends were struggling to keep it alive. While everybody else was listening to disco music, Guille fell in love with the songs of Carlos Gardel and Julio Sosa, and a few guitar lessons made him discover the beautiful spirit of Argentinean folklore. Fast forward many years, and tango has now become his dominant passion in life. Besides his love for social dancing and DJing, together with his lovely dance and life partner Lynn, they have performed at many venues in SoCal and have started teaching classes to beginner dancers. Guille is many things outside of his tango persona: father of two amazing daughters, engineer, space enthusiast, soccer fanatic at times. But when the speakers blast the captivating chords of a tango song, his heart is just one with the music. DJ Guille has been making people dance in countless milongas all over the West Coast for more than six years. His style focuses on keeping the crowd energy engaged up to the very last song, by creating a musical cadence that transports the dancers through a journey of different moods during the night: fun, romantic, playful, nostalgic, soothing, dramatic, deep. Just like tango itself.
