The music behind our DJs:

Vincent

Vincent’s moto: musicality and swing above all else!

He discovered salsa in 2003 almost by chance. Passionate about Cuban salsa at the beginning, he met the New York Style “On2” in 2006. With total love at first sight, he begun Puerto Rican Salsa with the renowned choreographer Mouaze Konate.

Vincent has been playing for a long time at Paris’ Latin dancefloors and continues on from convention to festival to satisfy his new passion.

His travels and his overflowing taste for music have allowed him to expand his musical culture and discover other types of sounds.

Drawing also on his past as a classical musician, Vincent Amiche naturally begins to search and collect opus of all sides and all eras.

Encouraged by his friends, including DJ Loïc Thomas of Paris, he finally launched behind the turntables in 2015 with one goal: to share with the dancers the sounds he loves!

Regular DJ at the parties “Mambo salsa” and Pachamama (formerly Barrio Latino) in Paris, he also had the opportunity to share his passion abroad, especially in London, Hamburg, Stockholm, Croatia, and even in Korea, South (Seoul, Busan).

Deejay resident at the Théâtre du Renard, a Parisian club for Puerto Rican salsa aficionados, Dj Vincent is now one of the figures that counts in the very closed club of Deejays estempillés Mambo de Paris.
