Internationally renowned gypsy punk rock group Gogol Bordello return with their sixth full-length album Pura Vida Conspiracy via ATO Records on July 23. Produced by Andrew Scheps, the new album was recorded in El Paso, Texas at Sonic Ranch Studios and is a powerful collection of 12 surging new songs. In celebration of May Day, an ancient public holiday known for raucous celebrations, Gogol Bordello offer up a stream of their rebellious new song "Malandrino" to get the party started.

The album's title is derived from a Spanish slang phrase for "pure life," which is a theme that resonates throughout the new material. The disc's opener, "We Rise Again," introduces the album's limitless, all-embracing themes instantly, centered on a chorus of "Borders are scars on face of the planet." The new songs are infused with ideas rooted in Eastern philosophy but also search for a means of joining fragmented parts and persons, and of creating a worldwide consciousness.
