Music reviews of Lun?tico
Music Review: Pure joy
Rating: 5 Stars
I don't generally review CDs here on Amazon, because I think that musical taste is essentially an individual matter. However, this CD demands that I make an exception. It bowled me over when I first heard it (fittingly enough, in Buenos Aires), and continues to do so - I've been buying copies compulsively for friends, who are similarly taken with it.
Gotan Project, a French group (with several collaborators, many from Buenos Aires, on this CD) continue to be among the more interesting contributors to the genre of 'electrotango'. I find "Lunatico" even better than their earlier ""La revancha del tango". High points are "Amor Porteno", "Arrabal", Ry Cooder's instrumental track "Paris, Texas", and the insane tango rap "Mi Cancion" (I would listen to it every night in Buenos Aires, monitoring my Spanish progress by how far I could follow before getting lost).
This is joyful music that weaves in the bittersweet heart of tango while steering clear its sentimental excesses.
Beg, borrow, buy or steal this CD. You won't be sorry!
Description of Lun?tico
Not wanting to replicate what their debut, "La Revancha Del Tango", had achieved musically, the group has a decidedly stronger emphasis on the organic roots of tango on "Lunatico" and utilized a host of local musicians from Buenos Aires; a complete string section, two emcees, a trombonist, and Argentine piano legend and long time Gotan collaborator Gustavo Beytelmann. The result is their most accomplished work yet. "The beats are sparse and liquid, and the transition from Buenos Aires bordello to European dance floor is seamless" - Rolling Stone. "A jiggy melange of tango with a dab of dub" - Entertainment Weekly. "...an intriguing blend of traditional, passionate tango with cool, contemporary electronica" - LA Times.The Gotan Project literally took the world by storm in 2003 with its million-selling La Revancha Del Tango. Skillfully mixing the heated passion of tango with the cool insistent beats of dance music, the group kept the best of both genres as it offered up an unheralded fusion. This time around, the production team delves further into the tradition, cutting down on the dub production filigree and overarching electronic programming--now sexy grooves often come on the back of organic beats and an unprocessed sound captured during live studio sessions in Buenos Aires. This new focus is furthered with conventional bandoneon soloing as well as acoustic piano and string section backing. Nonetheless, kids craving to cut a rug will dig "Diferente" and "Notas," while the robust "Amor Porteno" (featuring Calexico) is the group's most muscular tune to date. More skilled than the debut, Lunatico is no sophomore slump, though hardcore house music fans may want to wait for remixes. --Tad Hendrickson
