Arkadiy Kotz Band is a Russian combat-folk-punk collective.
Trans-European Partisan Jam is a collection of historical resistance songs from Italy, Spain, Yugoslavia, France, Roma and Jewish Peoples, Greece, and USSR.
Arkadi Kots initiates this project as a new session of Free Home University in continuity with its ongoing collaboration with trade-unions, feminist, environmentalist, and migrant movements and communities, which has constituted a central focus throughout the past 10 years of the band’s activities. Arkadiy Kots considers folk music culture as a great pedagogical tool to share knowledge, express solidarity, and reinforce resistance. The translation is also an important instrument for the band, that rearranges, re-adapts, and translates songs from many places, languages, cultures, and contexts of struggles, enhancing a spirit of togetherness and a sense of unity.
