DJane Anna (Russia)
lives in Toulouse
Anna has been in music since childhood, and her playing ranges
from piano classics to rock music.
She fell in love with tango music in 1998, and it took her more
than a decade to start dancing instead of just listening. But
it was worth it.
She loves both the music of the Golden Era and the Neo tango
music, and she hopes that someday they can coexist
harmoniously.
"Music flows in me and I flow with music. Every set I play is
live and depends on the dance floor right here, right now. I
love that kind of continuous flow of music, that takes dancers
through time and a wide range of emotions. I am in love with
the process - of searching and trying something new, changing
and combining the music sounds into a stream at the console,
feeling the dancers’ energy...
The only frustrating thing is that there are things I really
want to dance to, but I never have an opportunity. So I dance
by myself while mixing.”

DJane Mari (Germany)
lives in Hamburg
Music and creativity have always been important in her life and
she has been dancing Tango for 26 years.
Because she was looking for more variety and wanted to dance to
the music that touched her more personally, she became a
DJane.
Since 2013 she plays regularly in and around Hamburg, as well
as at various national and international Marathons and
Neo-Events. She has been part of the DJ team at NeoTangoRave
and Phantastango for more than 10 years.
Her music is very versatile, Jazz, Electro, Blues, Folk, Rock,
Ambient, Oriental, Neo-Classical, Contemporary Tango, (Trip-)
Hip Hop....
Mari lives by the water and with her music, you are floating on
a wave through the evening. Creating playlists is a creative
act for her.
For Mari, Neo-Tango means: listening, getting involved,
immersing yourself, trying out, discovering, not having to be
perfect and having fun.

VJ Andreas (Germany)
lives in Hannover
He is a photo, video, and concept artist.
He came to tango in 2005 and has since been interested in dance
and music, both in the so-called traditional field and in
alternative concepts.
In 2015 he expanded his artistic work to the field of visual
live performance.
Since then, his live performances can be found at many
neo-tango events in Europe. He takes the mood of the music and
the dancers and transforms it live into visual elements. These
are created by mixing and changing various graphic elements in
real-time, and in turn, influence the dancers.
He calls his live performance "Visual Dancing". The content he
uses comes partly from his exhibitions, were created by him,
especially for Visual Dancing, and comes from artist friends or
from publicly available sources.
In 2019, he established ultra-widescreen visuals up to image
formats of 72:9 in the neo-tango scene - not every projector
now projects the same image content, but a wide image is
projected across several projectors.
In 2020 and 2021, he created the artistic concept of NeotangoTV
and played virtual dance floors with his visuals for more than
300 hours.
He also created virtual stages for streamed live concerts by
Carlos Libedinsky and the Steamed Tango Project.
Wir hatten sie Live erlebt und sind jetzt sehr glücklich, dass wir sie für unseren Marathon gewinnen konnten!
Am Samstag wird uns das charismatische Duo Interklang mit einer tollen Mischung aus Interpretationen bekannter Stücke und Eigenkompositionen begeistern.
Das Duo Inter-Klang überwindet spielerisch die Grenzen zwischen musikalischen Genres, Epochen und Kulturen. In ihrem neuen Konzert-Programm
…verschmelzen die bezaubernde Klangwelt des estnischen Komponisten Arvo Pärt, leidenschaftlicher argentinischer Tango von Astor Piazolla und virtuose Variationen des österreichischen Violinisten Fritz Kreisler mit der Spielfreude des Gypsy-Jazz von Django Reinhardt mit bekannten Jazz-Klassikern und einem Tango von Tom Waits.
Hinzu kommen wundervolle Eigenekompositionen wie das orientalisch anmutende Instrumental-Stück „Sahara-Wind“ oder das klezmereske Lied „Davids Tango“.
