The GRAMMY Museum is thrilled to present an intimate conversation and performance with Gogol Bordello, at National Sawdust in Brooklyn, NY. The conversation will be moderated by special guest Jim Jarmusch and include a discussion with frontman Eugene Hütz about the band’s career, latest music, creative process, musical influences, and more. Following the conversation, the band will perform.

Gogol Bordello is one of many artists to be featured in the GRAMMY Museum’s new New York City program series, which includes bringing a slate of the GRAMMY Museum’s renowned GRAMMY In The Schools Education Programs and Public Programs to the East Coast in partnership with the City of New York Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment. “A New York Evening With…” is presented by City National Bank and generously supported by the Dawn and Brian Hoesterey Family Foundation.

Gogol Bordello’s new album, SOLIDARITINE, will be out September 16, and is available for pre-order now: https://GogolBordello.lnk.to/SolidaritineFa

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
