1/ When did you come up with the idea of making a live album for Gotan Project? When we were touring with Gotan Project, we always had the idea in our mind that someday we would release a live album. We all have memories of live albums from some of our favorite artists, sometimes we would see them on stage and afterwards we wanted to feel the same vibe at home. Also, discovering an artist in...

So I went to see GoTan Project on a whim at the Sydney Opera House last week, and thought I'd MOG it. For those that don't know them, they're a Franco-Argentine collective, comprising a string quartet, vocalist, Spanish guitarist, pianist and . . . wait for it . . . two DJs. Yeh, weren't expecting that, were you? The only trouble is, I was really disappointed.I should explain, I decided to go a...
Not a super-tripped out video, but still a very enjoyable one. It doesn't hurt that Diferente's such a great track either. Hopefully you're already familiar with Gotan Project, but if you're not, watch the video and then get their album La Revancha del Tango; it's great stuff. Lunático, the album this track came from isn't bad either, but start with La Revancha del Tango, and you'll fall in lov..
Every so often a new sound comes along that excites the imagination; a sound capable of transporting the soul to a different time, a different place. The Gotan Project came upon the scene with the La Revancha del Tango release which carried one to the local sounds of Argentina. This release crossed the boundary of traditional tango music of the region by blending the accordion sounds of the Ban...
I was digging up some old burned cd's and found a really old Gilles Peterson Worldwide compilation, with some forgotten goodies like Gotan Project on it. Thought you all would like it. Sun is out down here in New Orleans, and there is an earthy smell that reminds me that even when there is not much of a winter, there is always the arrival of Spring. Happy hump day (Wednesday)...
Have you ever been in this situation?Walking past a store, cafe or restaurant, there's this song playing. You know you've heard it before, in fact, you have a strong memory recall to it, but you don't know who it's by or what the name of the song is. Of course, there's no one at the establishment who can help you. Not their job. But the memory recall is so strong, you want to find out, you ...
While searching for videos from "Gotan Project":http://www.gotanproject.com I stumbled across this short interview. A few of you are listening to Gotan Project and there had also been some reviews, so I thought, it might be of interest for you, what they have to say about their own music and their relation to tango. Don't bother that the first few words are in German, the interview is held in E...
