Gotan Project ...It Takes Three To Tango!














Gotan Project is a musical group based in Paris, consisting of musicians Philippe Cohen

Solal (French), Eduardo Makaroff (Argentine), and Christoph H. Muller (Swiss, former member

of Touch El Arab).

Gotan Project formed in 1999. Their first release was "Vuelvo Al Sur/El Capitalismo Foraneo"

in 2000, followed by the album La Revancha del Tango in 2001. Their music involves tango,

but also uses elements such as samples, beats, and breaks.

Live material was also broadcast on Gilles Peterson's world music show Worldwide on BBC

Radio 1 in May 2004. Philippe Cohen Solal has also released a DJ set: Inspiracion Espiracion

- A Gotan Project DJ Set Selected & Mixed by Philippe Cohen Solal (2004). This album is a

compilation of classic tangos from the likes of Anibal Troilo, Astor Piazzolla and Gotan

Project remixes. The album also includes a bonus CD with the track "La Cruz del Sur" - which

was meant to be included on La Revancha del Tango, but did not make the cut in 2001.

Before Gotan Project, Muller and Cohen Solal formed a duo called Boyz from Brazil.

Tango 3.0 was released on April 19, 2010.
