Over the course of the past 24 years, Gogol Bordello has become a hardcore gypsy punk and global party music institution, rooted here in New York, but with an international orientation. The group — which infuses Eastern European folk and Romani melodies with punk energy, Latin inflections, touches of dub and polka — is known for its live shows in particular. In our conversation today frontman Eugene Hütz calls a typical Gogol Bordello show “relentlessly hardcore celebratory.” We discuss how the band came to be, and Ukrainian-born Hütz's own incredible life story.
