Trans-Continental Hustle

Trans-Continental Hustle is Gogol Bordellos's eagerly-awaited fifth studio album and the first to be released since 2007's Super Taranta! landed Gogol Bordello the honor of being called "the world's most visionary band" by Robert Christgau, the dean of American rock critics. Produced by Rick Rubin, Trans-Continental Hustle combines the band's radical invocations of positive primal energy and planetary consciousness with music infused with ska, metal, punk, rap, dub, and intimations of indigenous Brazilian sounds to produce a party maelstrom of electrifying proportions. Led by revolutionary change agent and provocateur Eugene Hutz, Gogol Bordello, a nine-piece juggernaut of gypsy rebel soul, has become an international force to be reckoned with.
