BIO
Total Gadjos are Gogol Bordello, Nick Cave, and Tom Waits jamming in a refugee camp. Formed by Slavic immigrant/singer/songwriter and guitarist Petcho Joch, the Slavic Folk Punks Total Gadjos do for Slavic Folk what Gogol Bordello does for Romani music and The Pogues for Irish/Celtic Folk. They rev it up to punk speed and power while maintaining the melodic sense of the original sound and use the accordion, sax, trumpet, clarinet, and violin for Slavic Folk authenticity.
