The Groove
Saturday April 25th, 2015 with ELORIOUS CAIN
una breve historia: TANGO in DISCO + ¡TANGOELECTRONICO! & "neotango"

Tango was never considered to be part of the disco experience, apart from the odd dance contest in Italian discotecas. Tango was too rich and varied. In Europe and North America most Tango records were used for ballroom dancing. This episode of The Groove explores some early experimentation with Tango in British Disco and Eurodisco before jumping into the current century where the Paris based Gotan Project changed everything. Bands featured on this show come from Argentina, Paraguay, France and Norway. Along with the Gotan Project, they combine Tango with current variations of disco genres like Hip Hop, Chill/Ambient, Triphop, Elektro, Cumbia, House Music and Nudisco. My difficulty with the term 'neotango' is that it also includes the combining of tango with rock or jazz. What has been so amazing about the whole success and influence of Gotan Project is how it has brought the depth and musical beauty and intensity of Tango to discotheques around the world!

I read the highlights for this show and I just had to express disappointment that I won't be able to hear it live as I'm going to a wedding in Montreal. I love the Gotan Project. I even saw them appear live in Paris and I they were amazing!!! Good choice for a show and I will hear it later through the ondemand system.

DAMN and RATS Elorious. (Household chores crap...) Gotan Project is indeed one of my go-tos. All of their recordings are excellent. Innovative, terrific sounding. Play them lots on This Island Earth and elsewhere too. Today's playlist looks really interesting! Many other things on it i do not recognize yet... Which is most cool. Thank you OnDemand, later... Peace.

No puedo escribir el inglés entonces escribí este en mi lengua materna. Su espectáculo es un verdadero tesoro de la historia y una mezcla de experimentos corrientes con el Tango. ¡Qué gema tan maravillosa es! Lo amé tan muchísimo. Aunque aquí en mi esquina de Sudamérica yo no oiga estos grupos en discotecas. Las discotecas tocan la música 'house latina' y techno en cambio. Los grupos como el Proyecto de Gotan son oídos de la radio. Soy tan feliz que mi hermano en Canadá me dijo sobre este espectáculo. ¡Es precioso! Thank yous
