After the global smash that was La Revancha del Tango, issued in 2001, expectations for Gotan Project's Philippe Cohen Solal, Christoph H. Muller, and Eduardo Makaroff were high. After all, they created a new kind of electronic fusion in taking the tango, street, and folk music forms from Latin America (played by studio musicians) and melding them with dub, downtempo, other more subtle forms. Lunatico, from 2006, was named after tango legend Carlos Gardel's champion racehorse. Tango 3.0 appeared in 2010. In April of 2011, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of La Revancha del Tango, the Gotan Project enlisted the stars of the nueva cumbia scene to remix the album and retitled it.

Gotan Project is the unique band formed in 1999 in Paris. The very name of the group has it’s own story: Gotan is a slightly changed word Tango, which is quite logical, because the musicians experiment with tango, using some new elements, such as samples and beats. The full name of the band is an allusion to the famous album Tango Project. Such musicians as Carlos Gardel and Alfredo Le Pera took parts in creation of that record and it was released in 1982. Apart from the original material musicians of Gotan Project are very good at cover-versions and Frank Zappa’s Chunga's Revenge is the bright example. That composition was included to the band’s debut album La Revancha del Tango, released in 2001.
Gotan Project’s music is unique, and not so many bands create the music of the same style. But it only emphasizes the originality of Gotan Project on the world music stage. As a matter of fact, tango is quite called-for nowadays: the composition Santa Maria (del Buen Ayre) from the debut album was used in the movie Shall We Dance with with Jennifer Lopez and Richard Gere. Another song from La Revancha del Tango was included into the soundtrack of Ocean's Twelve. Tango creates an atmosphere, especially if performed by Gotan Project.
