Gotan Project at Brixton academy 3 Nov 06. I would give it four four and a half out of five stars.
It was an amazing gig. You can see in the photos that they did the most of the stage and had a gigantic screen where they projected amazing visuals. They played a mix from their three albums.
They came on stage all dressed in white. Two violinists, one viola, one cello, one piano, an accordion, singer, guitarrist, DJ and the main guy on his laptop. It was fantastic. A good mix of up beat and mellow tracks with stunning images playing on the background that helped you lose yourself.
One of the personal highlights was when on the screen a gigantic MC walked behind the band and started MC'ing in Spanish. All this while the violins, viola, accordion and DJ are going crazy playing with all their might. The song dipped for a second, only for another MC to join on the screen and they start alternating at an amazing speed in the closest thing that it was intelligible Spanish.
They did two encores and on the second one an MC (made of flesh and blood) joined them on stage for the last track. They went on for another 10 or maybe 15 minutes with the MC working the crowd brilliantly whilst the band wore themselves down in a frantic Tango mele.

Dawn here, from the 17 Days blog, I want to thank you for the wishes for Luck, I can use them, eh?
Also, I am enjoying your web-hole. It is nice to see someone grooving on live music from the other side of the stage...as a stagehand I am usually lurking in the dark of the wings.
Nice pix, wish I could have joined you.
peace
Dawn

Si no mal recuerdo, una vez escuché una rola de Gothan Project que se llama "La Revancha del Tango", espero no confundirme, pero de ser así, venía en una de las compilaciones de Café del Mar.
