This is what we call expect the unexpected. Eugene Hutz, the leader of the famous gypsy-punk band 'Gogol Bordello', will fall on Kyiv, like the first snow, to DJ at Checking Balkan party.
Hutz is a native Ukrainian, born in a small town near Kyiv. His grandmother was a gypsy, and his dad was a rebel listening to Jimi Hendrix records despite the Soviet ban on Western music.
When he was a teenager, Hutz’s family immigrated to the USA. In New York, Hutz conquered the music scene with crazy gypsy-punk music, which now claims millions of fans around the world.
Hutz also tried himself as an actor playing the main part in Madonna’s movie “Filth and Wisdom.” His debut though was alongside Elijah Wood in “Everything is Illuminated,” which tells the story of an American teenager discovering his Jewish roots in Odessa.
