The vocal interplay between Gogol’s fiery vocalist** Eugene Hutz **and **KAZKA **vocalist **Oleksandra Zaritska **hammers home the urgency and impulsiveness of the plight of the citizens of their Ukrainian homeland. The song’s adrenaline-fueled rush is testament to Gogol’s power – both in studio and live where the band is hailed equally in awe-inspiring adjectives. “She is a raucous rock singer, bringing an emotional message of the uprooted people whose lives were destroyed by this fucked up war in Ukraine,” says Eugene about his singing partner Oleksandra on the track. In addition, the track is unique to Gogol’s oeuvre in that the lyrics were written by Ukrainian poet, novelist, essayist and friend Serhiy Zhadan (who also appears on the track “**Forces of Victory**“).“ Oleksandra does great justice to the lyrics. It’s something that I’ve never done before – use someone else’s poetry for lyrics. But here, the idea was to bring three diverse Ukrainian artists together into a knuckle for continuous moral bust to the fighters and refugees. Plus, I really love Zhadan’s poetry, he is a wordsmith from God. No wonder he is nominated for Nobel Prize.” The accompanying video is here: [https://gogolbordello.lnk.to/TOWYCC](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=3b4b6881d2&e=615f2b8493) Take Only What You Can Carry - Gogol Bordello feat. KAZKA [⌊Take Only What You Can Carry - Gogol Bordello feat. KAZKA⌉⌊Take Only What You Can Carry - Gogol Bordello feat. KAZKA⌉ Watch this video on YouTube **Gogol Bordello “TAKE ONLY WHAT YOU CAN CARRY”** Produced by New York underground punk icon **Walter Schreifels** (_Gorilla Biscuits, Quicksand, Rival Schools_), _SOLIDARITINE _is an inimitable patchwork of punk, gypsy, dub, folk, Latin swing, and Eastern European magic.  “There’s the excitement of so many unique players swinging in and out of musical view like pirates whipping the ship within inches of its capsize but only by the strength of the songs does it keep from tipping over,” says Schreifels about producing the record. “Every song on this record has its central lyrical point to make, backed with passion, intelligence, and an unyielding sense of fun that pairs effortlessly with the music. Despite the amount of care and attention to detail, the key to a great Gogol Bordello song is its sense of joy and natural occurrence, as if it had just appeared out of the ether.“ 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. The opening track “**Shot of Solidaritine**” kicks off acoustically before launching into a raucous sprint at a breakneck pace. Gogol takes the post-hardcore classic “**Blueprint**” by Fugazi and injects their trademark Eastern European stomp. **H.R. of Bad Brains** guested on “**The Era of the End of Eras**,” blessing the track with a cameo punctuated by a key moment from the Bad Brains anthem “Sailin’ On.” He smiles, _“_Walter and I were in tears when H.R. sent it in.” [[ **_SOLIDARITINE_** album art **TRACK LISTING** 1.  Shot of Solidaritine2.  [Focus Coin](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=ae552c496f&e=615f2b8493) 3.  Blueprint4.  The Era of the End of Eras (feat.

Imminently beginning a U.S. tour (_tour dates below_), Gogol Bordello have been praised for their recorded material but especially heaped with accolades about their live shows. **Wall Street Journal** raved about the band’s live performance saying, “Gogol Bordello mashed punk energy with Eastern European modes for a set that received the wildest reception of any show I saw,” while **Los Angeles Times** said, “Gogol Bordello celebrates sensuality in both words and raucous, joyful internationalist dance rock.” **Pitchfork** proclaimed, “Eugene Hutz and his acoustic guitar slapping (think Les Claypool’s hands, but on a six-string) and waving arms summoned the crowd which quadrupled in size by the set’s fourth song. Festival goers were literally running toward the stage” while **Consequence** hailed “the ever-evolving collective has defied the boundaries of continents and genres in their quest for spiritual illumination through gypsy punk.” **Gogol Bordello **is **Eugene Hutz **(_vocals, guitar, percussion_), **Sergey Ryabtsev**( _violin_), **Pedro Erazo **(_percussion, MC_), **Boris Pelekh **(_guitar_), **Ashley Tobias **(_dance, percussion_), **Korey Kingston **(_drums_), and **Gil Alexandre**( _bass_). **_SOLIDARITINE _**was produced by **Walter Schreifels **and will be released on** September 16, 2022 **on **CD/Digital** (with vinyl coming in early 2023) _via_ Casa Gogol/Cooking Vinyl.
