Osvaldo Natucci was born in 1940 in Florida, a mostly residential neighborhood of the Vicente López Partido in the northern suburbs of Gran Buenos Aires, Argentina. His father was a bus driver who came from Italy and his mother was Argentinian and a house wife. It was the era when parents could dream of their children going to the university. Their dreams were met; Osvaldo and his two brothers are all university graduates with Osvaldo being a mechanical engineer.

Osvaldo came from a generation where to be a “buen Portenio” (good Portenio) you needed to meet two mandates: to play soccer and dance tango well. That was how he developed his passion for the music and the dance.

Osvaldo Natucci is one of the most reknown djs in the world. For years he was the musical coordinator and dj at the historic milonga El Beso, one of the most prestigious milongas in Buenos Aires. Osvaldo Natucci has listened to tango from the age of five.

For ten years consecutive years he was the official dj of the Tango Festival organized by the Government of the City of Buenos Aires.

It is his tandas with which competitors are using to vy for the Metropolitan Championship and World Championship of Tango in Buenos Aires. It is his belief that a good dj should be a good dancer, and a frequent visitor to milongas.

Osvaldo Natucci has also devoted time to teaching. He has held several seminars on musicality for tango dancers and djs, and has trained many djs who are in high demand in the milongas of Buenos Aires.
