GOTAN PROJECT @ Webster Hall - Wed 10/25 - 30a/35d

After having surfaced five years ago with the album “La Revancha del Tango”, the Gotan Project has since become more and more recognized. Their distinctive sound can be characterized by lush vocals and intoxicating bandoneon rhythms played over slick uptempo beats. The bandoneon, a South American instrument which sounds similar to an accordian, would sound dated and bizarre in the wrong hands. Yet, the Gotan Project masterfully put it to use in a way that can evoke an elegant Parisian promenade or an upscale lounge in Buenas Aires. Their curtain call is sure to have ladies and gentleman doing the tango on the balcony of Webster Hall. Go experience it for yourself!
