Care to take a wild guess who’s our next DJ?

First hint: It’s going to be his first time DJing in the El Gordo Riga!
Second hint: He is as charming now as in this picture years ago.
Third hint: Wikipedia says his family name may be derived from the plural of the genus BOS. Also, his family name is native to the Lombardy region of Italy.

The winner gets a unique chance to bring some beer for the DJ during his set.

Leaders and couples, you can still sign up here 👉 https://argtango.eu/rwtm/
