Gotan Project Announce New Album

Gotan Project Announce New Album

“Tango 3.0 has refined all the founding elements of what makes the Gotan Project the wondrous thing that it is” – Gilles Peterson 

After 2 million sales and 400 concerts worldwide, Gotan Project are back with their third studio album, the magnificent “Tango 3.0”. 

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”, a record that brought the sound of Argentina to the world. Their music is now familiar, from the cool and chic clubs of New York to the beaches of Rio de Janeiro. Second album “Lunático” (2006) saw Gotan Project breathing more live recording and jazz influence into their sound and also saw them visiting Australia for amazing gigs at Womadelaide, the Sydney Opera House and Melbourne’s Concert Hall.

Tango 3.0 arrives a decade after the group formed, still faithful to its founding principles, but this time featuring a host of exciting guests and collaborators. Dr. John lends the smooth sound of the Hammond B3 to ‘Tango Square’, the work of Argentinean author Jules Cortázar is reincarnated through a reading from his novel Rayuela on the track of the same name. Even Victor Hugo Morales, the legendary football commentator, lends his vocals to first single ‘La Gloria’ (paying homage to his famous goal proclamation that sound tracked Marradonna’s infamous 2nd goal against England)

With their cinematic vision and sonic exploration Gotan Project manage to escape from the box that others may have confined them in.

Tango 3.0 is released on April 16 through XL/ Rhythmethod
