Philippe Cohen Solal (Gotan Project)

Philippe Cohen Solal co-founded the Gotan Project, the group that reshaped downtempo and brought electrotango first to clubs and then later to cool hotel lobbies everywhere. Their 2001 breakthrough album 'La revancha del tango' has sold well over 1.5 million copies, and Gotan Project was impossible to escape during that time, with their music appearing in films like The Bourne Identity and Ocean’s Twelve, as well as countless TV ads.  On this episode, we dive into the influential group’s founding story, Philippe's musical influences, and we comb through some of his favorite records from his 20,000-piece vinyl collection, which he houses in the music room of his Paris apartment.
