Beathearts rewind #32: Gotan Project - Inédits/unreleased

Listening to Gotan Project's La revancha en cumbia album reminded me of all the great versions from their remix challenge last year. The perfect soundtrack for a laidback Sunday after a rough week.

For those who don't know, Gotan Project is a trio founded in 1999 in Paris by Argentinian guitar player Eduardo Makaroff, French producer and DJ Philippe Cohen and Swiss et Christoph H. Müller. Underground music with their roots in Argentinian tango or as Gilles Peterson put it:

New “world music” i.e. the merging of DJ culture with music from the worldwide underground – Gotan Project were the first to successfully bring the traditional and the folkloric into the electronic space. 

Featured below are some of the finest unreleased Gotan Project remixes from last year's event:
