Gotan Project is a musical group based in Paris , consisting of musicians Philippe Cohen Solal ( French ), Eduardo Makaroff ( Argentine ) and Christoph H. Müller ( Swiss , former member of Touch El Arab ). They formed in 1999. Their first release was ''Vuelvo Al Sur/El Capitalismo Foraneo'' in 2000, followed by the album '' La Revancha Del Tango '' in 2001. Their music is clearly Tango , but also uses electronic elements such as samples, beats and breaks. Live material was also broadcast on and Ástor Piazzolla and Gotan Project remixes. The album also includes a bonus CD with the track "La Cruz del Sur" - which was meant to be included on ''La Revancha del Tango'', but didn't make the cut in 2001. Before Gotan Project Müller and Cohen Solal formed a duo called Boyz from Brazil. The song "Santa Maria (del Buen Ayre)" from the ''La Revancha del Tango'' album was featured as the music for the main dance sequence in the 2004 movie '', directed by David LaChapelle. The name of the trio comes from a form of wordplay very common in Rioplatense Spanish 's Argot named Vesre . This wordplay involves the reversal of syllables. Thus, the word ''Tango'' becomes ''Gotan'', the name the trio have chosen for their ''project''. DISCOGRAPHY
