Combining elements of punk, gypsy music, and Brecht-ian cabaret, Gogol Bordello tells the story of New York's immigrant diaspora through debauchery, humor, and surreal costumes. Leader and singer Eugene Hütz's taste in music was spun out of black-market tapes of the Birthday Party and Einstürzande Neubauten in his native Ukraine. After being evacuated to Western Ukraine in 1986 following the Chernobyl disaster, Hütz became enamored of the mystical, outsider qualities of gypsy music. Living as a refugee in Poland, Hungary, Austria, and Italy before moving to the United States in 1993, he experienced life as an outsider himself. After arriving in New York, he teamed up with guitarist Vlad Solofar and squeezebox player Sasha Kazatchkoff. American Eliot Fergusen added More...

Not only is it in the film itself, but it also is great for what is shown in the movie: roadtripping! I love this song, and now am a huge fan of Gogol Bordello! The meaning of the phrase Start Wearing Purple | Reviewer: Ann ------ About the song Start Wearing Purple performed by Gogol Bordello I just watched the movie Everything Is Illuminated, which ends with Start Wearing Purple as the credit music. If you're a fan of Eugene Hutz, the frontman of Gogol Bordello, I assume you've seen this film. :) It's been interesting reading different ideas about the meaning of this song, but isn't it just advice similar to the title of the book "When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple" Meaning... don't wait until you're old and have lots your wits, wear purple NOW. Enjoy life NOW. :) Genya Rules! | Reviewer: dmitri sokolov ------ About the song Illumination performed by Gogol Bordello Gogol Bordello is awesome! Illumination is just one example of their piercing recital on the futility of all that crap they shoved in our heads when we were young... Only you can be a light to the world - take destiny in your own hands instead of being a slave to the state, the corporation, the church or some other power-monger! answer to Elo | Reviewer: ostblockster ------ About the song Santa Marinella performed by Gogol Bordello tried to correct some mistakes in text yesterday, my corrections was ignored, why ever, maryjane on it. the text is a bit hard to translate by word – a lot of them are pure creations of russian mind and need to be explained in pretty long sentences) second reason is that there is a load of bad words in the russian part, much more than in italian one)) its all about russian immigrant musicians, who regard themselves as meaningless outsider with soviet background ("russo turisto obliko amorale, raspizdoto maniacale i paranormale") landed in Palestrina, the small peripheral town close to Rome, they are all desperately waiting for permission to enter the USA. two of them tell their own story of being in this refugee position. as they come close to hopelessness, they become their permission and move further ("rashodnjak"). hope this partly served your needs. peace!

Barry tune | Reviewer: daniel ------ About the song Think Locally Fuck Globally performed by Gogol Bordello groovy stuff ye bunch o mental gypsies. gonna need to catch you live sometime for the banter, sure it will be amazing What I read about SWP... | Reviewer: Lolacomesalive ------ About the song Start Wearing Purple performed by Gogol Bordello In an interview with EH, he says that Start Wearing Purple came from this: he was living with a girlfriend in the city (NY) and they had a crazy wacky out-of-her-mind old-lady neighbor who used to always wear purple. So when he and his girlfriend would get in an argument, Eugene would say to his girlfriend: "You may as well just start wearing purple now..." Hence... "Start wearing purple for me nooooow, all your vanity and wits they will all vanish, I promise...it's just a matter of time..." Natalie | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Start Wearing Purple performed by Gogol Bordello So I was wearing my "Start Wearing Purple" shirt today...and a girl asked me if I knew what the song was about....she said it was about an old lady neighbor. Well this is my take...ok, so gypsies steal from the rich...and purple is the color of royalty...so if you are wearing purple...its like paying homage to the Romani. Either that, or it is a slang for geting drunk..."like three sheets to the wind"... either way....we like to get drunk and dance to it!!! Tvairish....! (I don't know how to speel that..."comrade") Fusion | Reviewer: Jesse Laffan ------ About the song Sally performed by Gogol Bordello Music which dares to employ fusion techniques to such an extent as a band like Gogol Bordello either fail miserably, or succeed to such a level as to make them so awesome anyone who criticises them can shut up and go away. Gogol Bordello are clearly in the second of those two options XD Russian translations | Reviewer: Ilya ------ About the song Start Wearing Purple performed by Gogol Bordello Guys don't even try translating russian bits to english. Even if you do translate you'll never get the meaning, cause russian is made of slangs and cultural phrases, which only have meaning to people who speak russian natively or closely familiar with russian culture. Gogol rocks.
