Gotan Project

I've been wanting to see them live since I first learned from Gotan Project while listening Buddha Bar IV in 2002 (CD 1, track 14). I own all their albums and their Live album was really good. Tango 3.0 brings some cool new sounds and some very memorable songs and there's no better way to listen to it than Live, I will remember this performance for years to come..

Amazing show and music. Hung around and met some of the members. Very friendly - signed autographs and posed for pictures. Standing-room-only was not the best way to see these guys, but we found some wheeled leg rests and used them for seats. Overall, Terminal 5 is great, with 3+ levels, plenty of screens to watch if not at the edge and the artists were amazing. Coming in with no expectations, I can objectively say I had a great time and would definitely return.

The place was perfect, though i didnt like the fact that they made us go all the way to the terrace just to come back down 4- 5 flights.... The band was incredible, their performance so aesthetic I couldnt have asked for more! The music, the sound and the visuals were perfectly performed and arranged. Im literally dying for more! when are they coming back? I have been their fan for years, but never saw them live before! they were as i said : beyond expectations!

loved them. good mix of old and new songs. show behind them definitely added to the whole experience

I have heard some of their music before and was quite surprised how amazing they were live. I did not expect to be moved by the squeezebox but I was and the Wii controller that they used to make music was a riot. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in lounge/world nightclubby music.

The Argentine-French tango-influenced musical group was a band that exceeded my (limited) expectations as I had not been fully exposed to their music nor this genre prior to the show. Intriguing was the hip hop influenced piece... bien fait.

Sound was so muddy and loud that live instruments couldn't be heard - so it was boring. CD's are much better mixed.

Awsome show, the place was packed for a reason! Loved the music! The singer was fantastic, the musicians were even more fantastic.

Sure they play great, but that's not enough for a great concert. There was no energy. They played without any fire... I felt unsatisfied with their performance.

gotan project is a set of very talented musicians with a particular idea that you either love or hate. if you love it - go and see them - you will love it more. if you hate it - you should definitely go and see them so you have a chance to change your mind.

excellent venue, great musicians, fabulous female singer, a bit too short, only 1h30. Bought CD on itunes after concert.

I loved but the singer was very very very out of tune.

Really bad, uncool, and the members of the band lack enthusiasm. The crowd could never take off....bad...as an Argentine I recommend to everybody to simply forget about Gotan and start paying attention to Bajofondo. Muchbetter...

There were some highlights, but overall I would recommend this for a 1.5h ride in an elevator. And what is this that people go to a concert to LOUDLY discuss anything but the music?

Great event. Gotan sounds amazing !!!! If they come next time i will go definitely :)

AMAZING... TANGO Forever!!! The music, the personalities.... will go back again and again!

The end was where they needed to start and then explode from there! Next time I guess...

This show was given with grace and creativity by Gotan project. Each musician has its own universe and it shines throughout the group's humanity.

Most intimate of settings, the Nokia Club was absolutely fitting for this band. The videos came with full sync of the band. The sounds was perfect. Vocals were splendid. Artistically, one of the best Tango representations redone.

The show was amazing, I loved every single person in the group. Although, the opening show was not there the DJ from Gotan made up for it. Ended a little late, but worth every minute.

They were awesome! Sexy and Energetic! Love you guys, do come back to SF! "La Gloria" rocks!!!!

this was sooooo much fun! we danced all night. the opening band, 'the general electrics' were amazing as well. so nice to be introduced to a new band. they had such a great stage presence and really put on a fantastic show. and of course, 'the gotan project' was phenomenal as always ;)

Amazing show. Great performance by Gotan! If they could've only brought their dance troupe this time.

We loved Gotan Project, when they finally came on. The problem was that while the concert started at 8:30pm, Gotan Project did not appear until 11pm. There were two other performers and wide gaps between the performers. The security personnel was unhelpful and rude. If you have a disability, don't expect the staff to be all that accommodating. They treat you as if you're a nuisance.

It was seamless. Thee most profound concert experience I have witness as of yet. Thank You!

amazing! great sound, great set, great performance.

Awesome venue. Even more awesome show. Take advantage and see Gotan while they're stateside. Tango you don't need lessons to dance to.

Concert started almost at 9pm I think. That was the only bad thing about it. Gotan was amazing, they put a great show with lights and video, and the music was beautiful. One of the best shows this year!

I had an amazing time at this concert. Gotan Project has proven themselves to be better LIVE, which is something I have never said about any concert I've been to...especially since there is an electronic undertone to this music... Simply breathtaking, every single song and melody is playing in my head right now...

Having seen over one hundred live stage shows in my life, I would rate this the best ever. It was satisfying, exhilarating, joyful, mesmerizing and beautiful to view. It excited all my senses. If lifted my vibration to new levels. The combination of sound, light, holographic images and music was ecstatic. I am already looking at their schedule to figure out a way to seem again soon.

The music was unbelievably good and the video instalations and lights were incredible. Best show I've. Seen so far

Totally frustrated with the timing of the concert!!!! Opening act(which was awful)didn't come on until close to 9:00!! Gotan Project at 10:00. We were left sitting for too long . Love Gotan Project but the acoustics were not adquate to do justice to their music.

Beautifully lit and exquisitely performed, The Gotan Project thrilled the crowd with their gorgeous Paris/Buenos Aires sound. The opening band, The General Elektriks, were an excellent warm-up for the main act.

They played all their signature songs and the stage was set nicely. Very classy act and thoroughly enjoyed the show. My only gripe was that the opening act didn't start until 8:30, and they lasted a good 45 minutes, then 15+ minutes in between for set-up, so Gotan did not perform until 9:45, which was a very late start for a Sunday evening.

Love the Gotan Project, but they need to mention that there's an opening band, and that even the opening band will start 1 hour late. Gotan themselves started after 10pm (even though the show tickets were for 8pm). That's just not cool on a Sunday night when people might not have 2 hours to stand around.

Superb event, superb music. Their new stuff was as excepted. Awesome

Magnificent !!! So entertaining, sexy and elegant !

Show started late.. but was worth it! Gotan puts on a great show! The energy was addictive.. their music is even better live..

If Gotan hadn't been totally and completely awesome, this review would be 2 stars for sure... the 2 "bands" before gotan were seriously questionable. I asked the usher next to our seats when the show would start as it was 8:45 and the show had a start time of 8pm. He said, "Oh, it already started... That random DJ over there is the first act." It wasn't that the DJ was bad, but there was no focus on him and the music was too low so no one even knew the concert had started! Act 2 was an interesting band but I didn't like them enough to buy any of their music and the stage they set up was incredibly cluttered so it looked like watching a new band in a dive bar... but then GOTAN, I would argue they actually sound better in person, their stage set up was crisp and clean, and the light and visual show that accompanied it was the icing on the cake. I would see them again in a heartbeat. However, everyone else loved them too and somewhere in the middle of the show, the ushers keeping the aisles clear for our seriously fab seats (DD 104/105) disappeared and all these random people started dancing literally right in front of us so we couldn't see. Luckily all moved when asked, but it's pretty annoying to ask someone to move about every 2 minutes for the last 45 minutes of the show... and very distracting to the awesome band we're trying to enjoy. Warfield, WHERE DID YOUR USHERS GO?!

Great performance. Love it :) Recommend for kids and adults.

Simply a spectacular show, both musically and visually. I can t wait to see them again.

They don't move around a lot on stage, but don't really have to. The music is spectacular. The bandoneon player was hypnotic to me. Their opening act, "General Electrics" or something?? was also awesome, and so entertaining and energetic.

Awesome Music, Great scenography, a must see ! If you had love them in the "Hotel Costes" Audio CDs, you will enjoy them even more in live !...

Paid extra to close seats in the balcony only to have to move way up to the top to see the band. Huge speaker stack hanging from the ceiling blocked 90% of the stage. They shouldn't sell the seats on the side. Gotan was great, but the Warfield sucks. Will never go to a show there again.

A wonderful concert. Gotan performed their well-known standards and introduced great new songs. A nice venue with people doing the tango on the edges General Electric captured us with their virtuosity. Jazz Xylophone. And a great DJ while we waited.

Loved everything about this concert! Great music, great Venue and great friends to party along with!

Eventhough the concert started later that announced it was a good concert.

Spot-on performance! Such a sensual exerience, it was absolutely unforgettable!

Total bummer, I had uber high expectations for this concert & they left me disappointed with aching feet. The opening band was catastrophic and waiting for Gotan Project to finally come out and perform was shocking (2 hours & 51 minutes to be exact). I have never waited so long to see an artist perform. However, they did play my favorite song so I wasn't too completely bummed out, but I doubt I will be seeing them again any time soon.

this was an unforgettable concert, i would like to see gotan project all over the world when they play/it was the the most sensual and amazing concert i've ever attended. felt like an almodovar movie...spectacular

Can't praise Gotan Project nor General Elektriks enough! First class musicians and performers. GE was more in a electronica mode, Gotan, of course, modern tango. Gotan was sultry, steamy and enchanting. That singer of theirs is incredible! Enough said....

Fantastic show, I didn't want it to end! Can't wait to see them again.

Club Nokia is a great place for these kind of events... now when it comes to the bands... the first one did not play (visa problems they said), the second one (General Electric) was great, very energetic musicians. I went there primarily for Gotan Project, I have listened to their music before and I liked the way they fuse electronic with tango, but I had the strong feeling (same for my friends that were there with me) that these guys did playback most of the time. I did not like at all this to be honest. Next time I better listen to a CD, as the show General Electric gave was 100% better than the one that Gotan Project had.

General Elektriks got the place hopping with a tight set of tunes from their latest effort, "Good City for Dreamers" Gotan Project then took the stage and mezmerized the packed house with their flair for sexy tango dunked in electronica, with a twist of hip-hop. With their cosmopolitan vibe, strong melodies, and great musicianship - the dance floor was pulsating from the opening note of the show! Fantastic.

They are a class act. They're serious about what they do and they do it well. I had so much fun at this show. And I like the vibe of them being at Club Nokia because it felt more intimate than when I've seen them at other venues. Good times.

Such an amazing evening watching Gotan with friends. The show was so authentically Argentine, but so modern with addition of the French DJs. We had the best time!

Venue is maybe the best I have been to. Band was fantastic. Odd crowd

I was longing for the day to finally see Gotan Project live. Now I can totally say that I am GROUPIE!!!!!!! too bad couldn't meet them in person to hug and tell them how amazing their band is. Such a majestic music, the combination of electronic with the sexy tango vibes it's the best that the 21st century in music could ask for. If you appreciate Tango, and you have some kind of likelihood on electronic music, Gotan Project would be your best bet!

The visual presentation was really effective and the variety of flavors added to the tango were contagiously received. Very classy with a modern edge, the show included many forms of visual imagry including video, lighting, costume, lighting with graphics and some techno visual thing I am still wondering what it was... speaking with the performers at breakfast the following morning only reinforced my already positive response.

one of the best concerts i've ever been to, hands down.

The event was spectacular. I loved it. Thank you for coming to L.A.

It was my first time seeing Gotan live...they we amazing. The venue and sound system was fantastic...has become a big fan of Club Nokia.

I went with three friends and all of us liked Gotan Project, and General Elektrics, the band that performed previously. I give Gotan Project 4 stars, because my very favorite in this genre is "Bajofondo" with Gustavo Santaolalla, a *****+ band. Also, I think Gotan Project could get a higher qualified singer. I don't mean that the current singer is bad, but she isn't convincing.

General Electrics was the best part of the show. Gotan didn't pick up the pace the way I was hoping they would.

Absolutely wonderful music. Incredible rich arrangements and a spectacular vocalist. I would go again anytime they are here. However, I felt it was really disrespectful of the audience to cell tickets for 8pm and not start until 9:20. especially in venue with standing room. It was rude and I did not even hear an appology.

If you are into Gotan Project, their new concert is just amazing! They didn't bring the tango dancers this time but they absolutey compensate it with their music and their great energy!

Best show I have ever seen! I wish it could have been 5 hours long!!

The concert was simply amazing... the venue, the people, the band, the sound (maybe the best live sound that I have heard in my life), the lighting... I could go on and on about this marvelous concert... Seeing Gotan live is an experience that can't be put down on paper (or screen) easily. The sensations that get transferred from the stage to the audience are simply to extensive and complex to be able to write a fair description. The show gives that dark, moody, powerful feeling that tango has in itself, but manages to control it and ends being able to jump across a full spectrum of emotions, from sadness to melancholy to happiness to euphoria to anything and everything that you are willing to let yourself feel from the music and the show. I would highly recommend for anyone that has the chance of going to one of their shows to do so. Even if it requires traveling to another city or selling your unborn child... seriously.

It was amazing, such a diverse crowd all age groups enjoying the great music and vibe that Gotan Project has created.

Amazing event!! Excellent quality!!!! Gotan project were amazing!

Great concert. I was originally a bit concerned about listening to the music in a concert setting as you can't really Tango in a pit or in a seat, but it worked out great. The performance was a lot of fun and added depth to the music. Despite the show being on the short side, would definitely do it again.

Greats show, great sound, hard to see the stage. Wish there were also tv's on the roof.

I like very much but the singer was really out of key for several time during the show

The show was really good but after the singer starts to sing and for several times did it out of key. Anyway this didn't destroyed the whole show. it was a very good show

filled the gap between classical music and electronic music. creative band.

One of the best shows I have seen so far (and that's saying a lot living in NYC) Perfect mix of argentinian tango and electronic music... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Gotan Project put on a lively, energetic performance that was accent by an interesting multi media component. Provocative videos were projected behind the band as they played, giving the show an additional visual element. This was a useful device, as they really did not engage the audience directly all that much. It almost felt at times that there was a kind of invisible wall between us and them. And while at times they tried to break that plane, they stilll felt a little detached from the audience. There was more connection in between songs when they spoke to the crowd, and that made them feel more a bit more present. But their musicianship and attire was very classy and appealing. All were dressed very formally, in suits and evening gowns. The attire added to the sophisticated cosomopolitan feel of the music. What was also impressive was the rhythm programming and how the computerized beats meshed with the live instrumentation. They produced complex, layered beats without having any sort of actual percussionist on stage. It was all done with sequencing yet it felt very natural and organic. Gotan Project makes fun music to listen to, dance to, imagine to. I hope to see them again someday in either Europe or South America.

This show is a mix of live instrument playing and vocals. Most surprising is that a much of music and beats were from recordings as well as some vocals. I did not expect to pay $40, have mostly standing space to watch a recording. The sound was less than average in that venue as well. This was supposed to be a show not just a music band playing half-live.
