AJİT BUBBER
It is a well-known fact that Tango finds you and not the other way around. Nineteen short years ago, Tango found Ajit while he was honing his culinary skills in Umbria area of Italy – and though he prefers to dance, he enjoys making you dance as well and has developed his own unconventional DJ skills.
He was an architect of the tango community in Dubai and was host of the most popular 'Asado' milonga for several years. He is known as the “boss” of the touring "Cyprus Tango Mafia" and has been the driving force of five successful editions of the Limassol Souvlaki Tango Marathon, an eco-friendly event where all earnings were donated to charity. This event is unique in Europe and possibly worldwide.
He normally opens with tandas of Alternate danceable non ‘alternative” tango tracks and settles down to the Golden Age, Rodolfo Biagi being his favourite, with a touch of modern orchestras, traditional milongas and exotic valses punctuate the tango tandas and will guarantee to keep your feet on the floor till the *La Cumparsita* or his own version of Cumparsita which you will experience when you listen to him.
He started his DJ journey at the 9th Cyprus Tango Meeting in October 2023, Since then he has played in all major milongas and events in Cyprus (Tango Meeting, Meet Festival & Elegante Tango Marathon) and also overseas in Chania, Malta, Greece, Budapest, Hungary and this year will perform at a major event in Italy and Corfu as well as local milongas in Seoul, Korea.
*“Not being a native Spanish speaker or even understanding the language is a huge disadvantage but I try to understand the lyrics (google is my friend) and mood of each tango to place it correctly during the milonga, carefully assessing the mood of the pista.”
Looking forward to making you dance.

ANDREW SKIBA
Andrew's passion for music originated in his childhood, in Ukraine, where he studied classic guitar and played in a band. Life challenges took him to Israel, 30 years ago, sadly leaving off the music road to discover his second passion - solving difficult challenges in computer science and number theory (a branch of mathematics).
Andrew discovered Tango seven years ago, which quickly became his greatest passion. During the last years, Andrew participated in dozens of international marathons, encuentros, and festivals and studied with some of the best maestros.
In recent years, Andrew found the summit that combines Tango music, history, and empathy to the audience, and became a Tango DJ in Israel. An international breakthrough occurred, as Andrew was invited to international events, to name a few: Budapest, Riga, Athens, Cyprus and Yekateriburg.
As a DJ, Skiba puts extreme attention to detail and context. He sees his mission to drive the energy up so the dancers can enjoy each other.
DJ Skiba is a confident sailor of the waters of Tango, he bravely guides dancers through the stormy energies of a milonga. He is crazy good in involving tangueros into dancing most breathtaking tandas every time.

CHRIS TIGAS
Chris Tigas started dancing tango ten years ago in Athens. From the beginning, he was drawn to both the dance and the music two things that, for him, go hand in hand. Over time, he realized how important music is in a milonga and how it can shape the mood and energy of the night.
That’s what made him want to try DJing. For the past two years, he has been working as a tango DJ professionally. He has played music in many milongas in Athens and also at events outside the city. He enjoys building the flow of the night step by step, watching the dance floor, and choosing the right music to keep people dancing and connected.
At the same time, he is also an active dancer and has taken part in competitions. His most recent awards include 1st place in the Solo Milonguero competition at the MEET: Middle East -European Tango Championship (2024) and 3rd place at the Tango2 World Championship in Istanbul (2025).
He was born and raised in Athens, where he still lives. Some of his favorite tango orchestras are Miguel Caló and Ricardo Tanturi.
