Take Only What You Can Carry - Gogol Bordello feat. KAZKA

Performed by: Gogol Bordello and KAZKA Directed by: Sereja Tkachenko dop Jake Christopher 1ac George Alvarez 1ad Yehor Tkachenko MUAH Alexandra Nesterchuk Produced by: Valeria Rudenko, Ira Velychenko “Take Only What You Can Carry” encapsulates emotional message of uprooted people whose lives were destroyed by this fucked up war in Ukraine. The idea was to bring 3 very different Ukrainian artists together responding to the situation ASAP. Oleksandra Zaritska of Ukrainian synth pop group Kazka band brings cathartic justice to lyrics of Serhiy Zhadan, a punk rocker and Nobel Prize nominated writer and poet from hard-fighting city of Kharkiv. Translated into English by great Virlana Tkacz and me. We’ve never used someone else’s poetry before, but this is coming out of exceptional on all levels and I’m very proud of this collaboration. Extra special thank you to Razom, Walter Schreifels, and all participants on such a short notice. All Ukrainian made. Gogol Bordel
