    Did anyone catch the Gotan Project on Worldwide last night ?

    La Revancha Del Tango sounds like a fantastic album, and, as Gilles said, a
    fusion that actually works.
    Really brought back some fond memories of Summer 2000, some of which I spent
    in Buenos Aires (which has a fantastic club life, by the way).
    BTW, believe that the word play mentioned last night, and used to form the
    group's name (Gotan) is known as lunfardo. Can any portenos/portenas out
    there confirm this ?

    Looking forward to seeing them if/when they come to London.
    Speaking of which, looks like a fantastic week ahead, gig wise.
    Coldcut and DJ Food at Cargo tonight, Oneness of JuJu at Jazz Cafe tomorrow
    night, DJ Shadow on Sunday at the Scala, and Ozomatli on Thursday at the
    Astoria.
    Am going to try to get to Coldcut/DJ Food tonight (depends on my resolve and
    the queue length), and Ozomatli on Thursday.
    Also, a band called Los de Abajo are playing at Ronnie Scotts on Sunday
    (apparently, signed to Luaka Bop label). Does anyone know what they're like
    ?

    cheers,

    OwenC
