• “El Gaucho” is a film soundtrack composed and produced by Christoph Müller and Eduardo Makaroff, two of the three central members of Gotan Project. But musically it is unlike Gotan’s contemporary fusion, it explores the rural roots of tango, including milonga and zamba - Argentina’s country music.

• There are live recordings from rodeos - often instrumental, but sometimes with vocals by Melingo, who is also the film’s narrator. It conjures up the timeless Argentina of the Pampas, where the horse is central to life.. The music played on the bandoneon and the guitar and occasional harmonica.

• "El Gaucho" is film by Andrés Jarach : a road movie with the feel of a documentary - following a rugged horse breaking rodeo star, who embarks on a voyage with his little boy that leads them from rodeo prizes to the sea. A story of childhood, initiation and discovery.

• Horses and gauchos to come to life in the now trade-mark, Mañana label pop up CD sleeve, and deluxe digipak packaging.

Reviews

Songlines - Tim Cummings

It's music that takes you outside the normal run of time, and spirits you away to the pampas, drenched in the atmosphere of the rural and remote. **** Top Of The World

fRoots - Jon Lusk

understated but atmospheric little gem.
