Gogol Bordello’s new album, SOLIDARITINE, will be out September 16, and is available for pre-order now: https://GogolBordello.lnk.to/SolidaritineFa
Check out the new song “Focus Coin” – listen and watch the visualizer video now: https://GogolBordello.lnk.to/FocusCoin
The seven piece of mixed heritage from locations such as Ukraine, Ecuador, and Russia have consistently riled up audiences with an inimitable patchwork of punk, gypsy, dub, folk, Latin swing, and Eastern European magic. With the more hardcore leanings of SOLIDARITINE, the sense of urgency and a fresh bolt of energy returns the band to their incendiary beginnings while keeping their agit prop leanings front and center. Tapping New York underground icon Walter Schreifels (Gorilla Biscuits, Rival Schools, Quicksand) for the producer seat, Gogol dove deep into the studio and emerged with a album rife with the insurgent sound of survival. “The album is really about uniting the people of goodwill,” he reveals. “Releasing any kind of art that doesn’t address the situation in Ukraine right now would be pretty despicable.”

Listen to Gogol Bordello’s new song, “Forces of Victory.” Three strong and very diverse Ukrainian musical voices join together on this track: Gogol Bordello, featuring performances by the legendary poet and punk-rocker Serhiy Zhadan, and ethno-synth-pop sensation Kazka, who are both from hard-fighting city of Kharkiv. This is a message of inspiration and support to defenders of Ukraine, whose integrity and righteous fierceness has been indisputable and reflected by these vigorous creative forces.
“Forces of Victory” is streaming now on all digital platforms: https://gogolbordello.lnk.to/ForcesofVictoryAS
The manta-like chorus translates as:
“Just when it seems I can no longer go on
That is exactly how I know that I will make it
I know it’s exactly how the forces of victory awaken deep within
When you are half way through… ”
“Forces of Victory” is also a lead track of compilation Artdopomoga Vol 2 which features Ukrainian artists reacting to war (produced by Ivan Derbastler): https://artdopomoga.com/shop/music/v-a-artdopomoga-ukraine-vol-2-2022

Teroborona is a term for Civil Defence Units formed of civilians who stood up to protect Ukraine. Many of my artist and musicians friends had to pick up arms and join Teroborona. This is a dedication to their courage and to the courage of all defenders. The song is rooted in Ukrainian traditional dance “Arkan”, one of true Ukrainian Hutzul spirit. All proceeds will go to Ukraine relief.
Lyrics feature shout outs to specific units of Teroborona in various Towns olin Ukraine.
