Product Description: Released in Europe in 2001, La Revancha Del Tango's sexy combination of chillout programming and authentic tango music became a lounge favorite and led to massive sales. Lightning struck twice when it was released two years later in the States--the domestic debut attracted the attention of electronic music hipsters, tango freaks, and world music geeks. And rightfully so. The Gotan trio of Philippe Cohen Solal, Christoph H. Müller, and Eduardo Makaroff write the album's strongest material themselves, but their imaginative incorporation of Frank Zappa's "Chunga's Revenge," Gato Barbieri's theme from the movie Last Tango In Paris and, not surprisingly, Astor Piazzolla's "Vuelvo Al Sur" into the Gotan world shows just how broad and inclusive their tastes really are. Naysayers may complain that this album can be heard in every hip restaurant and clothing boutique from Paris to Los Angeles, but sometimes the cream does rise to the top and gain mass acceptance, as it has here. Also includes a bonus disc of four remixes. --Tad Hendrickson

5 stars Great Tango cd
This cd is one of the best cd's I have heard for dancing Argentine Tango. If your a Tango dancer you will love it. It also has a video that shows clips of Argentine Tango.


5 stars Chill out Tango!!
I 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!


5 stars Shhh...close your eyes.....
....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!


5 stars Great house/dance CD
Although 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!


4 stars Wow!
This is great Tango dance music. I first heard a cut of it when our ballroom dance teacher used it . It was what I call a techno Tango number titled: Santa Maria(del Buen Ayre). If that doesn't put passion to your Tango as you dance with your partner, then nothing will. I had to have it and have never regretted it. Great music!
