While New Music Monday may have been on hiatus...I was not! May ended up being a particularly busy month for brides and grooms, so music took a backseat for a while! Now it's back, and just in time because the whole world is about to find out about this one!They call themselves Gotan Project...and if you reverse the syllables in the word "gotan", you get "tango", which is just a part of what this group brings to the table. Yes, a lot of their music has a tango sound, but it's also got a bit of a French twist. No, I don't mean the hairstyle...I mean the sound. Think harmonicas, accordions and while their music is primarily instrumental there is the occasional lyric...in French (seriously, what lyric doesn't sound better when it's done in French?).
I first heard their Epoca on a movie soundtrack about a year ago and was immediately hooked! Just the other night I heard the same song in a commercial for Kitchen Aid appliances, so before long everyone will know how cool they are. And by the way, their music makes an awesome soundtrack for editing wedding photos! Creative, exotic, sultry...just to use a few adjectives!
Usually, I'll make a recommendation for a single song to download. For this one, go ahead and download the whole darn thing! The album is called La Revancha del Tango, and it is so worth it!
