On Friday night we were lucky enough to be present at Gotan Project's Australian premiere at the Perth Concert Hall for the Perth International Arts Festival. They've been around since 1999, but they only finally managed to make it to Australia just now. The hall was packed full and they didn't disappoint with their superb performance.

Gotan Project is a French and Argentinian group of musicians and DJ's that explore Tango music with contemporary electronic elements such as samples, beats and breaks to produce a truly unique mix of sounds. I only heard of them about about 2 years ago, but I fell in love with their sound instantly, understanding why they've got a cult following worldwide.

I hope they make it back to Perth soon, but realistically it'll be a few more years before they're back. In the mean time, I'm tracking down the CD's of theirs I don't already own :P
