Trans-continental hustle

Description

Casa Gogol celebrates the spring release of "Transcontinental Hustle," the new studio album by Gogol Bordello produced by Rick Rubin. It follows "Super Taranta!" released in 2007, which took GB to a higher level, boosted by friendships and collaborations with Madonna and Manu Chao. The explanation? A unique, cosmopolitan stage experience - Mano Negra playing in a Kusturica film? + a charismatic, mustachioed leader who talks about cinema and creators - the inimitable Eugene Hutz. This new opus is already inspiring testimonials of recognition including an "A+" from Robert Christgau, the dean of American rock critics, who describes the band as "the most visionary group in the world." In France, after selling 10,000 copies of their previous album, and packing a Trabendo and a Bataclan (+ 4 dates in the provinces) in the span of a year, the band, whose concerts have earned them the title of "the most perfect band for festivals," returns just in time, supported by a more than promising concert schedule.
