La Revancha Del Tango (Audio CD) Gotan Project

Product Details

The debut by this Paris based trio is a relaxed blend of tango dance rhythms and Argentinean instrumentation. The group was brought together by their passion to combine sound with image and to marry electronic and acoustic music. They built on their house, dub, and hip-hop influenced productions by adding two of Argentina's finest tango musicians, the musical result being supremely distinctive, incorporating bandonion (a form of accordion), violin, and vocals. This release includes 2000's most memorable jazz-house hit, "Triptico", which has already sold over 400,000 copies worldwide.

"The Paris-based band have reinvented the tango for a post-modern public." The Times

"Fusion of world music dance music are almost ubiquitous but Gotan are exceptionnal... It's an irresistible mix, and if you missed the show, almost as sool, on their disc, La Revancha del tango" Evening standard

Si on se laisse prendre au jeu des percussions, on est assez éloigné du titre du projet. Mais si on avance un peu plus, pour laisser entrer le bandonéon, on est cuit : le tango a pris une drôle de revanche. Avec des plages comme "La Del Ruso" ou l'adaptation de "Chunga's Revenge (signé Frank Zappa), la musique de Gotan Project prend des ailes. Des allures d'oiseau merveilleux, planant par-dessus les frontières de genre, avec un cœur qui bat au rythme de la milonga argentine. Piano, violon, guitare viennent rejoindre le festin, une célébration joyeuse de la rencontre de l'électronique et du tango. Au cœur du dispositif, un génie multi-instrumentiste nommé Philippe Cohen Solal, un drôle de clavier dubbeur insatiable, et bassiste puissant, et le délicat guitariste Eduardo Makaroff. Le trio, en invitant quelques figures du tango argentin (Nini Flores au bandonéon, la chanteuse Cristina Vilallonga...) vont produire cette aventure exaltante, où la musique va aussi servir d'écho à quelques cris de guerre et de révolte. "Queremos Paz" ou "El Capitalismo Foráneo", avec leur groove obsédant de tango du 3e millénaire, prennent soudain une douloureuse résonance, dans l'Argentine ruinée de l'année 2001. --José Ruiz

"Gotan Project a plongé le tango dans l'électronique - ou l'inverse...Dans la musique comme dans l'image, Gotan Project se tient à égale distance du sentimentalisme vériste du tango populaire et des froideurs cliniques du tout-venant pour dancefloor." Le Figaro

"Des groupes comme Gotan Project, avec un spectacle visuel aussi soigné et important que son volet musical d'électro-tango, ont séduit un public avide de sons nouveaux" Libération

Gotan Project give new meaning to the term French Dance Music with their debut La Revancha Del Tango. A collaboration between soundtrack composers Philippe Cohen Solal and Christophe Mueller and Argentinean guitarist Eduardo Makaroff, the Gotan project project are more about Tangos and accordions than chic disco-house and vocoders. And while the Parisian trio's debut is unlikely to set any superclub dance floors alight, it's unique, bewitching and incredibly French. Part ingenious dance hybrid, part spine-tingling soundtrack, the success of their peculiar mix of strident break-beats, eerie violins and those all-important accordions owes no small debut to Solal & Mueller's cinematic expertise. Exuding enchanting-chilling atmosphere, tracks play out like a sensual score to the nocturnal life of Paris' Latin Quarter. The longing melody of "Queremos Paz" and the jazzy "Last Tango in Paris" are pure romance, and the frantic Latin rhythms of the only real club contender, "Triptico", conjure the hectic café society, but most affecting are the backstreet sleazy of Epoca and swagger of "Chunga's Revenge"; both as hypnotic as they are sinister. Strange amalgams of dub bass and unhinged cabaret vocals add to Gotan Project's allure, but it's the passion and drama that mesmerise, and no dance music has more of both than a Tango. --Dan Gennoe
