Gotan Project: TANGO 3.0

Teaser GOTAN PROJECT - "La Gloria" from Ya Basta records on Vimeo.


Teaser 2 GOTAN PROJECT - "La Gloria" from Ya Basta records on Vimeo.


second teaser clip released & added on March 9, 2010

TANGO 3.0 is due out on April 19, 2010!! Damn, I can't wait for this album...I've been a fan of Gotan since the beginning!! now there are a gazillion groups imitating them and using their samples to make their own joints...



In 2000 Gotan Project, the trio founded by Philippe Cohen Solal, Eduardo Makaroff and Christoph H. Müller released their debut album «La revancha del tango”. With this record Gotan Project delivered the sweetest revenge for Tango, bringing the sexy music and the sound of Argentina to the world. Now the sound of Gotan Project is synonymous with cool and chic from the clubs of New York to the beaches of Rio de Janeiro.
With their second album “Lunático” (2006) Gotan Project breathed more live recording and jazz influence into their sound. Much imitated, Gotan Project has learned to appreciate the compliment and after 2 million sales and 400 concerts, they are back with their 3rd studio album the magnificent “Tango 3.0”.
“La revancha del tango” made it into The Guardian top 100 albums of the decade and now Tango 3.0 will lead the way into a new decade with its cinematic vision and its invocation of not only Buenos Aires but also the Mississippi delta blues from New Orleans to Nashville to the back streets of New York. “Tango 3.0” is Gotan Project’s new world order - get on board!

Tango Variations by Starbucks Entertainment



The tracklisting looks bonkers...it's a pretty all encompassing compilation of all the craziest electro/tango groups...not sure how I feel about the fact that this is put together by and being sold at Starbucks though...this is usually how good groups go commercial...ehhhh

The exact origins of tango—and dance and accompanying music—is a mystery, but the impact of the sensual, emotionally nuanced Argentinean export is undeniable. Here is inspired tango from the masterful Astor Piazzolla and his followers, as well as variations on the sound from artists outside the genre.

1. Oblivion - Gidon Kremer
2. Por Una Cabeza - The Tango Project
3. Mundo Bizarro - Electro Dub Tango
4. El Choclo - Tango Libre
5.Mas de Lo Mismo (More of the Same) - Tanghetto
6. Cite Tango - Astor Piazzolla
7. Milonga del Angel - Astor Piazzolla
8. Tango - Ryuichi Sakamoto
9. Last Tango In Paris - Gotan Project
10. Whatever Lola Wants (Gotan Project Remix) - Sarah Vaughan & Gotan Project
11. Libertango - Antonio Agri, Hector Console, Horacio Malvicino, Leonardo Marconi, Nestor Marconi & Yo-Yo Ma
12. Mi Corazón - Campo
13. Grand Guignol - Bajofondo
