Gogol Bordello is easily one o' my favorite bands, if not the most favoritest ever...
Some folks say they're too pop sounding, to folk sounding or they're too "mainstream"

But i like em, so i'll share there link, GOGOL BORDELLO on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

I play mostly classical guitar and Eugene Hutz is the shit, in my mind, and my musical preferences, i like how he rocks out on such simple chords and makes it sound so fuckin' awesome

I also like how there's no more than 2 people in his band from the same place, everyone's from a different country, i also like well i like everything about teh band

If anyone has any type of Romani Gypsy bands, balkan, anything like that, let's here it, i want more music like tat' to practice with

Kaplakov Trio is a good romani band too:crew:

I saw Gogol Bordello live back in October with my girlfriend. I really like them on certain occasions, other times they're iffy. BUT they were invited to this punk house I used to go to after the show and were there for a good hour or so of after partying before they had to leave, which is pretty lame if it was only an hour, but still. I could have seen them if only I had stuck around another 5 minutes after the show.

Earth...for now.
Django Rheinhardt, one of the greats.
A friend of mine has several really good compilation albums with traditional gypsy romanian flamenco type of musicians on it.

traveling music can definitly have a "gypsy" sound, probably partly due to the embracing of nomadic culture. blackbird raum has a definite gypsy pirate feel. even erik peterson has some gypsy-esk music. there are lots of great traveling bands. heres a good website .cardboard.boxcar.

This reminds me, a few years back I was lucky enough to see Gogol Bordello live. Anyways, during the end of the show (which was crazy as hell) someone's GB jacket ended up on my head, and I decided to keep it. It's pretty thin, and a bit small, but it kicks so much ass.
