Gotan Project

Rayuela Gotan Project

First in the series of remixes spread upon 5 10inch vinyl, each of whom will show one letter from the band name G. O. T. A. N.... “In hopscotch, as in life, one needs to know which direction to jump”. Gotan Project are interested in poetry and genuine admirers of the work of seminal Argentina writer Julio Cortazar, whose voice they have sampled on their song ‘‘Rayuela” (named after Cortazar’s most famous novel, which translated means “Hopscotch”). Playful lyrics sung by a choir of children about a philosophical allegory of the game of life, hell and paradise. Daniel Haaksman supplies a great remix, somewhere between cumbia and crazy reggaeton, the other remix is from hot Berlin label Man Recordings is tropical disco! Phantasmic and fantastic!
