You probably aren't too familiar with the traditions of the Romani people, but a Gogol Bordello show will give you an education fast. The gypsy-punk band have a take-no-prisoners attitude to the music of their native cultures and have become one of the go-to bands for the festival circuit. They were back in town recently for two sold out shows at First Avenue, and were more than happy to bring their infectious rhythms to The Current for a live performance.

Songs performed: "Pala Tute," "We Comin' Rougher," and "My Companjera."
