Gotan Project - "La Revencha del Tango"

So yeah, I spent a couple months down in South America this last summer. One of the definite highlights of my 5000 miles of traveling was the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina, a city of European influences, strong culture, and a booming night life. Hollywoodincambodia is actually an art gallery in San Telmo, one of the neighborhoods. In between clubbing, exploring the city, checking out art museums and galleries, I got a chance to catch a tango show one night as well, one of the most famous legacies of Buenos Aires. Amazing stuff...

After I got back, I started to listen to a lot of the CD's I bought down there. Gotan Project is basically the best of the artists that I found, on a compilation album of electronic tango. They are actually based out of Paris, but one of the members is Argentine. It's got the accordion flourishes that I enjoyed out authentic tango, but with a nice mix of electronic and modern touches. Some of the tracks have Spanish-speaking singers, so it's definitely different, but I highly enjoy it anyways. Standout tracks include "Queremos Paz" and "Epoca", which have been used in movies and ads actually, so you might recognize them. Check it out if it sounds interesting, very relaxing listen.
