Trans-Continental Hustle is the fifth album by
folk punk band
Gogol Bordello, released on April 27, 2010. Produced by
Rick Rubin, Trans-Continental Hustle primarily draws inspiration from frontman
Eugene Hütz's life in
Brazil, where he had been living since 2008. This album is
Gogol Bordello's major record label debut. The collaboration with Rubin was initiated after guitarist
Tom Morello of
Rage Against the Machine saw Gogol Bordello perform in
Los Angeles and recommended that Rubin look into the band. "Immigraniada (We Comin' Rougher)", the fifth track on the album, has received heavy airplay on
Sirius XM Radio's
Faction Channel 41 as well as other genre stations. At least two of Faction's shows have played the single, including
The Jason Ellis Show and Faction with Christian James Hand.[citation needed]
