As an artist I'm pretty much free to take any culture and do whatever I like with it, without even thinking twice or looking back. That's the Gogo Bordello way. It's about free will, reinterpretation and collage. It's not important to me personally whether someone thinks our new songs are Balkan or more Latin. People are like, 'Wow, there's even some mariachi music there.' I'm like,
'Really? Oh, yeah, I guess I can see that it has a mariachi touch'. But I didn't really think about anything like that when I was creating the songs.
