WIN Gogol Bordello TICKETS

From the frenetic hip-hop of Balkan Beat Box to the subtler instrumental textures of A Hawk And A Hacksaw, the traditional gypsy music of Eastern Europe is becoming an increasingly prominent feature of the U.S. alternative rock scene.

By far the most fun of all the acts influenced by the folksy punky genre are New York's hugely entertaining 'gypsy punks' Gogol Bordello, winners of this year's Radio 3 Award For World Music (in the Americas category). Led by the resplendently-moustachioed Ukrainian refugee, Eugene Hütz (who also appeared in the film 'Everything is Illuminated' alongside Elijah Wood), this loose collective of musicians from around the globe has become a huge hit on the UK festival scene over the last few years, whipping audiences into a frenzy with their whirling dervish fiddles and accordions, Clash-like guitar riffing and Hütz's incendiary stage presence. The multinational, multiethnic group includes a violinist, guitarist, accordionist and bass player.
