Gogol Bordello - Gypsy Punks: Underdog World Strike
Posted June 28th, 2007 by aidan
Stomping punked up Klezmer, that's what it is. And it's good too, very good.
There's a massive western influence going on here - in fact I think these guys are from the states. That's what gives it it's original sound. I do love my gypsy beats, but it's great having them turned up a notch (not that it's generally required - just go to a Fanfare Ciocarlia gig to see what I mean).
Funny lyrics too - check out Not A Crime. I keep coming back to this one and I don't see that changing in the future.
