Let me hear your balalikas ringing out, come and keep your comrade warm


The Total Balalika Show

A totally, blissfully batty, magically mental, absurd and absurdly good joint venture. Between the Leningrad Cowboys, the Alexandrov Red Army Ensemble, and a European folk dance company.














The Leningrad Cowboys.















The Alexandrov Red Army Ensemble














Dancers.














70,000 people in Senate Square, Helsinki, having a good time.

There's a film of the gig. Watching it will make you at least smile and probably laugh out loud, and in any case will leave you much cheerier than you started. It's insanely glorious and gloriously insane.
