DJ Andrés

DJ Andrés confirms his name in the world of salsa
Haarlem music- and dance fanatic is about to play in Monaco

HAARLEM – About ten years ago André Gahrmann made crossed over from style dancind to salsa.
He acquired a great taste for the passion-filled dance forms and in the meanwhile he and his partner Tonka run the company Salsamotion.
With this the duo provide salsa lessons and parties.
Next month they will both fly to Monaco to visit a big salsa congress.
Next to attending a series of workshops André will perform in the Monegaskic prinsdendom as a DJ for three nights.
‘ My love for salsa got a little bit out of hand,’ says the guy from Haarlem.

All over the world there is an expanded network of salsa lovers. Every weekend they are able to go somewhere to a Salsa party. The internet plays a crucial part in all of this.
‘All parties are on it, also Salsa Motion’s. Every two weeks we provide a salsa party in the old station restoration of Haarlem, where about two hundred people come to every single time’, André says.

Originality
After founding Salsa Motion André started collecting music which is a tad bit different than on other parties.
It is a constant strive for originality with which he knows how to distinguish himself from.
‘That got a little bit out hand soon enough as well. I listened to lots of channels which played salsa Music from the United State don the internet. The things I like, I track the artists from and order the CDs in America. It mainly concerns traditional salsa from the sixties and seventies. Cuba may be the cradle of salsa, but the better work has been made a bit more Northern according to me.’

Wave of movements
André often plays on his own parties and receives continuous positive reactions on his choice of music.
‘I use a lot of changes in speed with which you are able to create a wave of movements on the floor.
That’s just very special.’
Tonka nods yes:’ Because André dances himself as well he has a feeling with the dancefloor as a DJ.
That is very essential when playing.’
Salsa consists of different streams, including Cuban, Antillian and Mambo Jazzy.
André and Tonka use the latter form a lot.
‘ But we keep looking and listening around us. We have to. That’s why we go through a lot of salsa festivals. Like Cuba, Los Angeles, Barcelona, London and Glasgow. From every corner of the world a lot of fanatics go right at it to network and follow workshops. You just learn a lot from it.’

Fame
Now that André is active for about two years in the meantime as a salsa DJ, he receives more and more attention via the internet which leads to regular invitations.
‘This way I will soon play in Nottingham and the British colleagues will come to The Netherlands. A nice exchange project. What I really look out for is the weekend of 17, 18 and 19 February. I am able to play for three nights on the invitation of a big salsa congress in Monaco. Tonka will come with me to visit the workshops together during the day. At night I can do my thing for four hours as a DJ. Next to three French colleagues I am the only foreigner playing. Isn’t that just amazing!’
André becomes even more enthusiastic when he searches the location of the happening on the internet during the interview.
It’s Kare(ment), an exclusive nightclub in the Grimaldi Forum, on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. (‘sigh’)
