The music for private parties and birthdays It is the strength that decides whether an evening is polite but cold or becomes truly shared. It must accompany the arrivals, make the guests talk, support dinner and toast, give importance to the cake and open the dance when the room is ready, without losing the energy change. DJ, bands, musicians and karaoke are not equivalent alternatives: they change energy, space, volume, participation and level of driving. The best music does not start from the favorite song of the organizer, but from the audience who will have to live it. The right choice makes it seem spontaneous what has actually been thought out with precision.
