Gotan Project, formed in 1999, comprises Philippe Cohen Solal (French), Eduardo Makaroff (Argentine), and Christoph H. Müller (Swiss, former member of Touch El Arab).
The band released their first album Vuelvo Al Sur/El Capitalismo Foraneo in 2000, followed by the album La Revancha del Tango in 2001.

Live material was also broadcast on Gilles Peterson’s world music show Worldwide on BBC Radio 1 in 2004.
Philippe Cohen Solal has also released a DJ set called Inspiración Espiración – a Gotan Project DJ Set Selected and Mixed by Philippe Cohen Solal in 2004.
This album is a compilation of classic tangos from the likes of Anibal Troilo, Ástor Piazzolla and Gotan Project remixes.
Their latest album named Tango 3.0 was released on April 2010
