American Gypsy Punk

 


Last week our friend SWC named Gogol Bordello on his latest competition. That is enough to give them again a place at this little place in the net. Formed by Eugene Hütz in 1999 in NYC as a punk-rock band and inspired by Romani and Ukrainian music mixed with punk and dub and adding traditional instruments like accordion and violin to their sound. I saw them live almost 40 years ago in a small venue around my place and was excited of their presence. Eastern gypsy sound meet punk and it was a pleasure to see them. They had so much power in their sound and could compared to Les Negretes Vertes or Nyah Fearties. It is music I didn't listen to for a long time but still fascinated of these elementary sound.

Gogol Bordello

A friend recommended Gogol Bordello to me a few days ago. Just by their name I thought it would be worth to investigate more about them. What I found in the internet that they were a band formed in NYC at the end of the last decade and that they released a new album right now. It is a symbiosis of punk and rhythm and blues added with accordion, violin and saxophone. Their sound reminds me a bit to Mano Negra but it wasn't the worst comparison.
