La Revancha del Tango
Date undefinedI was introduced to this CD by my cousin Chike (who is aware that I love experimenting musically), and I love it! The Gotan Project (Gotan is a reversal of the syllables in the word Tango) comprises a multinational trio, and their style is Jazzy Electro Tango (well, that's how I describe it), largely instrumental, with a few vocals usually spoken and in Spanish.
However, an understanding of Spanish isn't necesary to appreciate this calming, beautiful music. Yes, it does sound like what you'd hear in the background at some swanky lounge or bar (like the Amazon review mentions), but it's one that would have you asking the waiter "Who plays that?".
My favourites are "Una musica brutal" (with lovely female vocals), the piano driven beauty "Last tango in Paris", "La del ruso", and the eerie sounding horn sprinkled "Chunga's revenge" (with male spoken vocals), apparently a remake of a Frank Zappa song.
Very classy Chill Out music. Thank you Chike!

Date undefined....and you're dancing close to the most amazing partner...bodies one...breathing in unison...sliding your leg along your sexy partner's leg.... There isn't anything about this music that is short of sensual and erotic...you can almost feel their hand sliding gently down your neck.......
Reality now hits...urban, gently pulsing, sophisticated, character, soulful, reminiscent, erotic, and sensual are all words to describe this album....
I first heard Santa Maria a few years ago and finally found the artist and album...it does not disappoint!

Date undefinedAlthough this CD is more house music than I expected, I still liked it. Lunatico was more what I was looking for, and I prefered that one. However, both are great!
