Gotan Project La Revancha Del Tango Live

This DVD features the Gotan Project caught live in Paris performing 16 tracks (four of which are encores) along with bonus studio session footage, a segment on the Grotan Project on Tour and Victor Villena 11 Years old. A free-floating film without words or story, and one that is in constant motion to the strains of music. Prisca Lobjoy, art director and video artist for Gotan Project, created all the video performances screened during this live-show and saw a film of the actual event as the logical next step. The images and sensations on the DVD give a unique insight into the pure pleasure the musicians derive from the creative musical process both in studio and on tour. Universal. 2005.

¡Tango!

¡Tango! follows a formula established by Carlos Gardel with films such as Luces de Buenos Aires (The Lights of Buenos Aires, 1931) in which a melodramatic story is interspersed with tango songs. However, the film had less dialog and more music, making it more like a musical revue. This format would be copied by many subsequent films. The plot is derived from tango songs. Many of these songs tell of the seduction of an innocent slum girl by a rich man who promises her a glamorous life, but who abandons her when her looks fade. The stylized and sentimental plot of ¡Tango! revolves around a young man who is abandoned by his girlfriend for an older rich man and is heartbroken. The film follows his misfortunes.
