Newcastle Rising Tide and the Gotan Project
I feel like crying with joy for the brilliance of some climate activists in Newcastle, whose parody website of the NSW Minerals Council advertising campaignhas just been resuscitated (SMH article) by an Afghan webhost.... or maybe i'm just overcome by the beauty of music, because I just came back from the Gotan Project at the Opera House!!

I went and saw Gotan Project on Monday - it was amazing!!!
Yeah. i love that argentinian accordian playing- their music was on the documentary 'The Take' about the worker factory occupations/ cooperatives, so gives me a lot of wistful admiration not only from the musical merit, but also evoking the political struggle/ determination/ creativity of the Argentinian people.
I think the group is very influenced by Astor Piatzolla, who composed some very complex Tango during the Depression, to create employment for classical musicians.
