About DJ Anael

DJ Anael got hooked on salsa in 2006 and has been collecting vinyl since 2011. It started on the dance floor, then with CDs, before switching to vinyl for good.

Classically trained in music theory and piano, he's got the ear for digging out the tracks that move a dance floor. A dancer himself, he travels to salsa congresses around the world and brings back what he finds to the local scene.

He played his first guest sets in 2012 and quickly became the go-to DJ for 100% salsa nights on the French Riviera. He works regularly with local schools and teachers, and has played French festivals including Monaco Salsa Congress, Pink Tolosa, Sund'Aix Salsa Festival and On2 is Nice.

Since 2017 he's been running Mambo Day, a monthly salsa afternoon in St-Raphaël.

And since 2022 he's been crossing borders: Prague Salsa Marathon, Magic Slovenian Salsa Festival, Porto Salsa Weekend, Bucharest Salsa Revolution, Amsterdam Salsa Weekend, Live 2 Mambo Budapest ...
