Eugene Hutz Outspoken in His Support for People of Ukraine, His Home Country

Legendary Gogol Bordello frontman Eugene Hutz (pronounced “Hootz”) was born in Ukraine and grew up on the outskirts of Kyiv before immigrating with his parents to the United States when he was 16. He is an outspoken supporter of his home country and has organized fundraising events that have included performances by his band Gogol Bordello and other celebrated musicians.

In a recent interview with the Ukrainian Institute of London, Hutz expressed his perspective on the resolve of the Ukrainian people.

“This is a pretty serious trait of Ukrainians: their resilience and that whole turning frustration into inspiration, and anger into energy and defiance and resistance,” he said. “It’s a fight of people for their own destiny. Ukrainians are very good at that.”

Since the start of the war in February 2022, Hutz and Gogol Bordello have wrapped the Ukrainian cause into their music, which is sometimes described as “gypsy punk.” As part of its mission statement, Gogol Bordello says it works with “gypsy, cabaret and punk traditions” and uses the tools of “music theater, chaos and sorcery.”

Gogol Bordello’s latest album Solidaritine takes them back to hardcore roots with a renewed sense of urgency, as Hutz explains. “Solidaritine is the substance that unlocks our empathy and our full human potential…May this be your punky uplift for our packed with troubled times.”

Gogol Bordello has announced tour plans for the summer with stops at major venues throughout Europe and the United Kingdom. The GRAMMY Museum recently presented an intimate Gogol Bordello performance and conversation with Jim Jarmusch in Brooklyn, N.Y.

World Champion Heavyweight Boxer Wladimir Klitschko to Host Event

In addition to the Ukraine Relief Fund Gala performance by Gogol Bordello and Eugene Hutz, Olympic Gold Medalist, International Boxing Hall of Fame Inductee and two-time World Champion Heavyweight Boxer Wladimir Klitschko of Ukraine will host the fundraising event.
