My Take
Eugene Hütz, frontman of the gypsy punk outfit Gogol Bordello, is one of those artists who grabbed my ear instantly. Born in Boyarka, Ukraine, he fused Eastern European Roma music with raw, roaring punk into something genuinely his own. Singer, guitarist, disc jockey, actor, even social activist, the man refuses to sit in a single box. That wild mustache and blazing stare detonating on stage are unforgettable. You can feel a displaced, restless soul running through both his music and his life, the mark of someone who left home and made the whole world his stage. I have deep admiration for this kind of authentic outsider.
