The Gotan Project brought Latin/electronic fusion to a whole new level with their debut album LA REVANCHA DEL TANGO. Taking the sensuous tango as their base, they invigorate their music with a sinuous grace, creating music that's at once familiar and tremendously invigorating.
Gotan Project is the unique band formed in 1999 in Paris. The very name of the group has it’s own story: Gotan is a slightly changed word Tango, which is quite logical, because the musicians experiment with tango, using some new elements, such as samples and beats. The full name of the band is an allusion to the famous album Tango Project. Such musicians as Carlos Gardel and Alfredo Le Pera took parts in creation of that record and it was released in 1982. Apart from the original material musicians of Gotan Project are very good at cover-versions and Frank Zappa’s Chunga's Revenge is the bright example. That composition was included to the band’s debut album La Revancha del Tango, released in 2001.
Gotan Project’s music is unique, and not so many bands create the music of the same style. But it only emphasizes the originality of Gotan Project on the world music stage. As a matter of fact, tango is quite called-for nowadays: the composition Santa Maria (del Buen Ayre) from the debut album was used in the movie Shall We Dance with with Jennifer Lopez and Richard Gere. Another song from La Revancha del Tango was included into the soundtrack of Ocean's Twelve. Tango creates an atmosphere, especially if performed by Gotan Project.
In 2004 Philippe Cohen Solal released his DJ set Inspiración Espiración - A Gotan Project DJ Set Selected & Mixed by Philippe Cohen Solal, which included some rare records, previously unreleased remixes and 4 original Gotan Project’s tracks. In 2006 the band issued their third studio work titled Lunatico, which is considered to be one of the best albums of the trio. While creating that album the musicians collaborated with singer Cristina Vilallonga, pianist Gustavo Beytelmann and bandoneónist Nini Flores. The musical fantasy of the members of Gotan Project allows them to create incredibly ambient music, and Lunatico was the strong proof of that.
Gotan Project’s album Tango 3.0 was released in 2010. That record let the music lovers enjoy tango in different shapes: there is the classical Spanish guitar, very gentle arrangements and even the elements of trip-hop. The trio is faithful to their style, however they are not afraid to experiment with the sound. And that is why Gotan Project managed to find so many fans of their music all over the world.

review by Christian Larrède – Copyright 2019 Music Story
Tango Santa Maria Gotan Project
Eleven songs to return to full light: after having excited the international scene with a first album – La Revancha del Tango, in 2001 – then left its fans on their hunger with their second production (a Lunático revolving in 2006 around the work of Carlos Gardel, at the risk of getting lost in it), the Argentinian-Franco-Swiss project therefore returns to the front, languor of the tango, and electro iridescent, pegged to the soul.

This album, mixing the archetype of Argentine music, desire and death as a gallant company under the name Eros and Thanatos, with other Latin American rhythms (in particular, originating in Cuba), even some accents of Jamaican ska, will not suit the purists, in its irreverence to dogmas. Everyone else will be able to taste this violently erotic music, which works – and it is quite natural – on the basis of a Spanish inn. On the musical soil instilled by the keyboards and the bass of the French Philippe Cohen Solal, the tortured machines of Christoph H. Müller, and the guitar of Eduardo Makaroff, come alternately to add the voice – dark and undulating like the sidewalks of Buenos-Aires – by the writer Julio Cortázar, and the song by Cristina Vilallonga (who can easily be considered as a classmate of the trio, as at ease in re-reading the heritage as in the original compositions).
Endorsing the organized proverb that the crazier you are, the more good music you make, Gotan Project also invited Nini Flores and his omniscient bandoneon, the violin of the Danish Line Kruse (a time escaped from his own quintet), and, delicious surprise, the carnal organ of the King of New Orleans, Dr. John in person. And “La Gloria”, jolts of a syncopated tango in malignant restraint, is also illuminated by the voice of sports commentator and icon of the country, Victor Hugo Morales (up to the emblematic Gooooool!). All these little people are working to generate an atmosphere where the joy of playing together is constantly imbued with a sweet melancholy, and this nostalgia for happy days, which we know is definitely gone. From “Tango Square” to “Érase Una Vez” (Once upon a time), the astonishing marriage of ancestral and modernity, and the equally surprising encounter between the Portuguese saudade, the Argentine morgue, and the blues of the Mississippi.
Tango 3.0, beyond the modernist impulses, offers a soft languor in the coming spring, and an intact fascination for this murderous music….
