Gotan Project: Back to the Future

Musical genres are not something fixed: they mutate, reinvent and merge. Gotan Project is a clear example of that. This electronic and electronic tango band jazzística managed to bring  tango  to discos. Located in Paris, it is composed of Argentine musician Eduardo Makaroff, Swiss Christoph H. Müller and French DJ Philippe Cohen Solal.

The name of the trio comes from a very common pun in our lands: the vesre.  Gotan Project  debuted in 2000 with the album Vuelvo al sur. Today, his tracks are part of the selections of the world's leading disc jockeys.

As they mention on their website: “Today, as yesterday, it is first of all about telling stories, those eternal stories of the imaginary of tango, shady loves for sharp allegories, “cinematic” horseback riding, reminiscent of the soul of the  gauchos ... And, beyond, that of a whole country: Argentina.”
