[Tango-L] Would you buy tango music if..........

[Trini y Sean (PATangoS)]

Around here, the rule is if the event is free, the DJ does not get paid.  If an entry fee is required, the DJ gets paid.  Sometimes it's just a nominal amount or is based on the take.  Paying the DJ not only shows appreciation for his/her work but also 
professionalizes it.

It sounds to me like that group is trying to avoid political problems.  They should really just pay the DJ, comp him/her with workshops, or get him/her some music gift cards.

A friend of mine has stated that he asked the local tango group to invest in 
buying tango recordings, thus quadrupling the groups tango library, so as to 
give the various budding DJ’s more variety in music.  He was refused.
