Total Gadjos do for Eastern European folk what Gogol Bordello did for Romani music and the Pogues did for Irish 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 sometimes violin for Eastern European folk authenticity. Total Gadjos celebrate Eastern European Folk music's confident, freewheeling party songs and emancipate the music's oppressive songs by transforming them into perseverance anthems.
