Gotan Project
Biography
Gotan Project is the unique band formed in 1999 in Paris. The very name of the group has it’s own story: Gotan is a slightly changed word Tango, which is quite logical, because the musicians experiment with tango, using some new elements, such as samples and beats. The full name of the band is an allusion to the famous album Tango Project. Such musicians as Carlos Gardel and Alfredo Le Pera took parts in creation of that record and it was released in 1982. Apart from the original material musicians of Gotan Project are very good at cover-versions and Frank Zappa’s Chunga's Revenge is the bright example. That composition was included to the band’s debut album La Revancha del Tango, released in 2001.
