But the enthusiasm is still there, and there’s a kind of creative ping pong between us three, in our rue Martel studio.

That might not be a lot for Elvis Costello, but it is for us! (laughs)Įduardo Makaroff: Ten years on, things are very different from our first album. In a single month, we’d come up with 20 songs. Philippe Cohen Solal: The three of us got together in the studio with a burning desire to write a lot of songs, after all those touring and solo projects. RFI Musique: How did you set about creating the new album? We all came back with different inspirations, which found their place on Tango 3.0. I think we all needed a bit of space and fresh air. At the same time, I released albums by David Walters and Féloche on the Ya Basta label. I wanted to get away from tango and electronica for a bit. They all came from Nashville, except me, I’m from Belleville… My project now is to create an electronic version of this album. After recording the album Moonshine Sessions, I played with seven or eight musicians. I went to Tennessee to record some country and bluegrass tracks. Philippe Cohen Solal: Yes, after Lunatico, I went off to live elsewhere, in North America. RFI Musique: Philippe, you went to the United States, to Tennessee… The group is called Radiokijada: la quijada is literally an ass’s jawbone, which is used as an instrument in this kind of music. It’s a culture that has remained unchanged for many decades. It explores a little-known genre: black music from the Peruvian coast. Personally, I’ve been working for the past 6 or 7 years on an album with a Peruvian friend, entitled Nuevos Sonidos Afro Peruanos. It’s a docu-drama about a horse tamer, a gaucho. Our latest release isn’t Argentine, it’s by a Swiss artist called Müller! (laughs)Ĭhristoph Müller: Eduardo and I have composed the soundtrack for El Gaucho, with various artists who were involved in the last Gotan Project album. Thanks to our success as Gotan, I’ve been able to get several other similar projects up and running. I started it in 2004 with the album Melingo. I run a record label, called Mañana, which is focused on contemporary tango. RFI Musique: What have you all been doing since the release of your second album ( Lunatico, 2006)?Įduardo Makaroff: We toured for a year and a half and then released a double live album, followed by another tour in late 2008.
