Müller and Eduardo Makaroff travelled to Buenos Aires to record parts of the album with local musicians. As well as continuing their collaboration with the cream of paris’ argentine musicians including the piano legend Gustavo Beytelmann - who conducted much of the musical goings on as well as all the string arrangements and bandoneonist Nini Flores, Philippe, Christoph H. But the second ‘proper’ Gotan Project album Lunático (2006) effectively silenced the critics. Solal’s 2004 DJ set Inspiración.Espiración was seen by some as a stop-gap, and even if it does provide revealing glimpses of their sources and influences such as Aníbal Troilo, Domingo Cura and of course Piazzolla, it’s only a qualified success. The album’s suave mixture of vintage tango, dub and club ambiences attracted a following well beyond the world music ghetto that tango had retreated to sales are now nearing a million copies and effectively launched the ‘electrotango’ movement worldwide. Their spectacular, innovative and sophisticated live shows are another. Maybe that’s one reason Gotan Project’s landmark 2001 debut La Revancha del Tango (“Tango‘s Revenge”) has sold over a million copies. Happily, and almost certainly not by coincidence, he’s French, and lives in Paris. “Tango is the sort of music that you don’t joke with, particularly if you are Argentinean or you live in Argentina,” explains their main spokesman Philippe Cohen Solal. Piazzolla had controversially experimented with fusing tango and electronica way back in the ’70s, and he’s one of Gotan Project’s key influences. But by the end of the millennium, el tango was in once again in the doldrums, waiting for the next Big Idea. By the middle of the century, the sun was setting on its ‘golden age’ and a youthful Astor Piazzolla was poised to unleash his revolutionary ‘nuevo tango’ on a public that would either be bewildered or beguiled. Tango was one of the first ever world music crazes, sweeping out of Buenos Aires across the Atlantic and onto the dance floors of Paris and London on the eve of the First World War.
