The Gotan Project are an intriguing phenomenon. Formed by three French DJs and musicians, they set out to rework and modernise the tango, and invited Argentinian musicians to join them.

"Although the Argentinean Gustavo Santaolalla has become famous in recent years for his film work, he is also one of the most important Latin music producers of the last two decades and has produced albums for Café Tacva, Juanes, Molotov, Dividido, and Julieta Venegas, among others. Now the musician makes a comeback as the brain behind Mar Dulce, the commendable second album from Bajofondo Tango Club. (Santaolalla is also a member of the group). As on its first album, this group mixes electronic music with tango, but this album is far from being a mere copy of its predecessor. –Ernesto Sánchez Customer Reviews on amazon.com "
