  The Gotan Project — Vive le Tango! by Richard Byrne - The Globalist > > Global Music
Gotan Project's album, "La revancha del tango," (Tango's Revenge) — a collaboration between French DJs Philippe Cohen-Salal and Christophe Mueller and a group of Argentinian musicians — may provide a hint about where tango will go in its second century.
The clearest signal that the Paris-based Gotan Project is picking up the tango gauntlet thrown down by Piazzolla is its version of "Vuelvo al Sur" (Return to the South) — one of the Argentine composer's best known and influential compositions.
Gotan Project's spark of intuition in finding the common link between classical music, Piazzolla's tango and Zappa's rock makes for truly inspiring and satisfying music.

  Gotan Project @ Brixton Academy, London : gig review
The eyecatching presence of singer Cristina Vilallonga centre stage, a vision in white, was offset against a backdrop of projected vintage footage of big bands and ballroom troubadours swinging, writing large Gotan Project's musical source material across the stage and their very attire.
Adding a rapper to a night of Gotan Project, even one harbouring this Londoner's quickfire vocal style and fearless stage presence, seemed strange at first, visually as well as musically.
But, as he roved around the stage as a ball of energy, with just one song he brought more passion to the set than Gotan Project, for all their undoubted effort and technical virtuosity, had managed all evening.

 Amazon.co.uk: La Revancha Del Tango: Music: Gotan Project   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Gotan is an incredibly apt name for this outfit; they haven't only mixed up the word 'tango' but have taken the musical genre out of the ballroom and fermented the rhythms with everything from dub to breakbeats and strings as well as the all-important accordion sound.
Gotan takes the distinctive sound of the Buenos Aires squeezebox or bandoneon, plus violin plus the basic "slooow, sloooow, quick-quick sloooow" pulse and the sultry attitude of the tango, overlays loping bass'n'drums'n'dub and filters the whole mix through a witty Parisian post-modern sensibility.
Gotan project was the next logical step in the chain, and I'm not disappointed in the slightest by this cool, seductive dance music that sends a shiver down your spine.

The Gotan Project's pianist, Gustavo Beytelmann, and bandoneon player, Nini Flores, are Argentine exiles who fled to France in the Seventies when a series of military dictatorships took control of the country.
