One of the three musicians that formed Gotan Project back in 1999, a musical group based in Paris. Philippe is French.

His music is based on Argentinian Tango, but also uses electronic elements such as samples, beats and breaks.

Philippe Cohen Solal has also released a DJ set: Inspiración Espiración - A Gotan Project DJ Set Selected & Mixed by Philippe Cohen Solal (2004). The album is a compilation of classic tangos from the likes of Anibal Troilo and Astor Piazzolla and Gotan Project remixes. The album also includes a bonus CD with the track La Cruz del Sur - which was meant to be included on La Revancha del Tango, but didn't make the cut in 2001. Read more on Last.fm.
