Tango music

 


What is the Tango ?
 

 


In those times the tangos were almost never sung. They were the Creole estilos and tonadas. Then came the tango-song, sentimental or mischievous, suburban and colorful, with pains of absence, contradicting loves, bully's stab and the weeping of a deceived girl.

The poets of the humble Buenos Aires flourished and in each neighborhood bandoneón was heard modulating tangos with themes from songs coming from all the ports. 

In the same crucible of races that fused the Buenos Aires man, the tango-song found its form, the pains of the boy of this land, that the wind took across the seas to move the restless girls of Paris or to enchant the blonde Anglo-Saxon millionairesses. 

It is not enough to have the most melodious voice to intone a tango. No. In addition, it is necessary to feel it. One has to live in its spirit.

Gotan project
the revenge of tango

 

Gotan Project – Gotan being a play upon "tango" – consists of a core nucleus of three French musicians: Phillippe Cohen Solal, Eduardo Makaroff and Christoph H. Muller. They are joined by several exceptional Argentinian musicians: vocalist Cristina Vilallonga, pianist Gustavo Beytelmann and bandoneon (the tango accordion) player Nini Flores.

Their album La Revancha Del Tango (XL) was released in 2001 and quickly became a favourite with discerning DJs and listeners across Europe and Latin America.
