Leningrad Cowboys & Red Russian Army Choir - Kalinka

[PointyTailofSatan]

OMG this is epic! And this from someone that only listens to Bach and Prokofiev!

[kiminki]

Paras esitys ikinä

[finnishjuoppo]

[Mourirpourdesidees]

Well said, Bjornisen! I wish that more people thought the same as you and looked on the bright side of Life.

[Sweedio]

вокалист тянет ноту 27 секунд (3.15-3.42). ничего себе!

[gurthanglord]

@jozif01 Trust me, he's not their only one, there are many soloists like him in Russia

[gyeek]

@gurthanglord And accross the world.

[jozif01]

I think it's their best soloist, better probably will not.

[gurthanglord]

@saberj2x No, this is much better !!!

[saberj2x]

is this the equivalent of the SF symphonica and metallica for russia?

[iraACDC10]

THAT'S NOT GERMAN. JUST, GERMANY WAS THE START OF CLASSIC MUSIC'S SPIRIT.

[mymyn69]

Mr Kalinka is here Vassily Shtefutsa.

Солист Калинки: Василий Штефуца

[DrParmesan]

In soviet Russia, the song sing you :) lol

[Finninful]

Suomalaisten ja venäläisten suhteesta eivät ymmärrä muut mitään,paitsi suomalaiset ja venäläiset. Muut vaietkoon seurakunnassa...

[Noobfromafar]

I love it when my school's choir performs this song!

But of course, the quality isn't as good *wink*

[peticco]

That General has a great voice!

[slaynt]

@peticco

That's no General, that's President Rasputin!!!

[GBTroll]

LMAO! THIS IS GREAT!

[maalikunq]

Leningrad Cowboys are finnish ?!?

[docdistortion]

@maalikunq yes and they are brilliant !!! love them.

[x10ader]

I'll see Leningrad Cowboys tonight, looking forward to that =)

[deaddoc]

Well, while these soldiers and rockers are having a good time and show a good sense of humor some posters don't. I live in US, in Washinton State and we have many Russians here. I go to the Russian store and buy stuff all the time. Systems are systems, people are people.

[janiporo]

Live, really? :D

[Slon33rus]

Эх красота, душа радуется. Жалко что у нас забыли такую музыку. И вспоминают только на хокее,

[martti1]

why you cu..'s bring war in this

[Deviltje123]

Awesomeness. Just discovered the live material from the Leningrad Cowboys and the Russian Choir. Epic music, love it :-) The Russians have some great tunes.

[MoscowMoo]

Yes, good grief, have peace my friends.

[Bjornisen]

why do you have to turn a collaboration between finnish musicians and russian musicians into a war? i think ppl like u are the reason ppl fight wars.. it's not the ppl who perform together across borders who cause wars.. seriously get ur heads out of your asses and see the world.. most ppl are good... i've met lots of russian ppl and i have nothing against them.. this is coming from a Finn. it's not the 1930's anymore. JESUS!

[zsotyooo]

@Bjornisen I agree. I'm from Hungary. They've been here for 40 yrs, and they had nothing to do with anything. They had an order from an asshole. Nobody wanted to be 2000-4000 kms from home. People are people. Governments are goverments.

[MrJlamb10]

@Bjornisen I agree. I'm American. My ancestors came here from England in the 1600's I love this video and what these people are doing. I tell people all the time that people from different Nations get along fine. It's the Governments of the Countries that start wars. I love every Nation and the people of every Nation. No Country is better than another. Al Nationalities have something to contribute.

[Vovk3]

@Bjornisen

I see peace time has turned you, like most others, into a pussy who thinks he can escape he workings of this world.

[millthor]

@Bjornisen I met lots of russians, finns and people all around the world and all I think this world needs is some love!

This is coming from a brazilian. Let's be friends, help each other and party together, that's all the world needs right now to get better!

[Inkvisitio]

@Bjornisen You sir, are a wise man.

[Crashman2]

@Bjornisen Don't listen to the dorks! ROCK ON!

[Edohiguma]

@Bjornisen Bravo. Well said.

[SFSarge21]

@Bjornisen I f'ckin agree!

It's music, not politics! Music heals the world... except Bieber and other fools who sicken it!

[insurgentdude]

@Bjornisen

If anything, its a step towards a good direction.

[Icke1591]

Nice!

[medusacrack]

I am Polish; don't think I like Russians; don't have a reason, but they seem to be the last slavonic nation that fights for their pride.

[JebeTiDzuli]

@medusacrack

Ehm... All slavonic people have a sense of pride that is way beyond normal.

[Prodoubleyou]

Are you from the former part of Germany?

[saintglory]

@medusacrack

wdf? you all Polish hate Russians, for reasons not known, and i believe we are the first slavonic russian who fight for our pride, our nation, our wellfair. Unlike you Polish who are undecided with your positioning in the world. You are like a prositute who would fuck the one who pays the best. Be in Germany, USA or Russia.

[medusacrack]

you knived our back in 1939 like hyenas, you were the best Hitler's ally between 1939 to 1941;murdered our soldiers in Katyn and NKVD murdered our patriots after 1945; you are Asian kalmuks/peasants with evil sick souls just with white skin;

but I like your Red Army Choir as they sing very beautiful songs

[saintglory]

@medusacrack

i see, and u hate russians just because Stalin who was btw Georgen, 70 years ago decide to split Poland between Germany and USSR. And lets see... hm.... 3 generations later u say "dont think i like Russians". Currently I believe it was Poland that wanted the Anti-missile shield in their country (direct threat to Russia). Then i suppose we all should hate all Germans to our guts because of WW1-2. Not only are you racist but also illogical.

[medusacrack]

dislike - doesn't mean - hate; besides your present Russian policy towards Poland is very unfriendly so there is no reason to pretend any friendship with you; the shield was about to pretect Poland from Russia beacause you are a danger to your neighbours; you don't have democracy and freedom; you kill Politkowskaya and other journalists; you hate truth; you have mużykis' minds, like slaves you follow Putin even if he ordered to kill & torture thousands Chechen men, kids and women,

[saintglory]

@medusacrack What you wrote is direct prove that u dont dislike but Hate Russians.

Our Russian policy towards Poland? Pls your direct provocations is what trigger our unfriendly relations towards you. Put that shield in your country just put you directly on the line of fire. How are we dangerous neighbors? It is YOUR present who is an American puppet. We dont have freedom? look at your skinheads, they beat up every foreigner! You country is full of pedophiles, you are incredibly brainwashed!

[saintglory]

@medusacrack Your Judgement is based upon Western Newspapers which are very anti-Russian. I believe it was your Western "democracy" that during WW2 allowed the Nazi's to take over Austria, Czechoslovakia. How come your Polish democracy elected a puppet president? Vecherkovich wrote in 2005 that it is a shame that there was a lack of communicaiton between Poland and Nazi's about allying and going together against USSR. And Russia not only freed Poland from Nazi's but also granted you new land!

[saintglory]

@medusacrack Russians follow Medvedel as any other country that follows their elected president. Regarding Chechens, please tell me why NATO soldiers are always welcome in Iraq, Afghanistan where they fight international terrorism. But when inside Russia, Muslim extermists rise and start their terror, and Russia go and fight not the local population but extermists, the whole world suddenly apply double standards. If you dont know wat Chechen's did, look at wat happened in Bislan school.

[saintglory]

@medusacrack Under no circumstances would Russia allow terrorisms in its country. How would Poland react if Podkarpackie had a group of extermists who would kill all in that region and demand independance of freedom? How would You react if terrorists blew up Polish schools, made attacks on metro? Please stop regurgitating what ever you see and read on western newspapers and start thinking with your own head. "Russia was always hated no matter wat regime, what leader we have" too strong a country

[medusacrack]

are you going to be a writer ? you are asshole because you insult people; you can't discuss; whores and peadophiles better look for in your country or family; and now just fuck off, I don't have time to waste . Happy New Year

[saintglory]

@medusacrack

I insult people, you just made a generalization that Russians are cold, brainless murderers. Your swears talk about your moral level, i see you are 47 years old and swearing... I am going to leave you alone now: in Russia we have this saying "don't touch shit, and you wont smell it".

[adventium]

Greetings from Mexico. Wonderful!! A great show of the russian culture. I hope someday you can come to Mexico ...

[medusacrack]

what do you mean by ,,the former part of Germany ?'' :-)))

[TheDyfrey]

Wonderful !

[nikola91serbia]

[Baginda666]

[Nightshaft]

Fantastic, this performance never gets old. Any variation or take on the song itself is auditory exctacy to me. They don't make them like this anymore.

[DerSchneck]

[Ezekielepharcelis]

Great.

[payitforwardeddie]

This is just BRILLIANT.

[Neralas]

AAWESOME

[MartyThuman]

These guys are having a blast. Art,music and food will be what saves us from each other. Not Coke,Pepsi and Commerce.

[Raonisk]

I'm glad I'm not the only one to think like that.

Salute!

[alienfingers]

@MartyThuman  So you are saying that to achieve cultural grace we can't drink anything? I've never been that great at science, but I do believe that we as a race need to comnsume liquids in order to survive.

[MartyThuman]

@alienfingers Not great at science or spelling. Also, you missed the entire point

of my post.

[alienfingers]

@MartyThuman That's because I was making a joke :P

Very impressive, are they still called the red army choir , or just russian army choir.and 5 *****

[Rosak]

Their official name is "A. V. Alexandrov Russian army twice red-bannered academic song and dance ensemble", they were the official choir for Red Army and now for the Russian Army, under the same name :) Usually they are referred as Alexandrov choir or Alexandrov ensemble :)

[elsaoz]

opinions are like arseholes: Everyone has one and everyone thinks everyone else's stink.... For all the morons who don't get this it's called IRONY. It's in the dictionary between ignorant and irritant.. oh yeah, this rocks!

[ERIC2cruz]

[pachero4711]

nice show - .. like WAR

[naganokumas]

This is brilliant. Wonderwomanheadache, have some appreciation of it before showing yourself.

This concert will always remain one of my favourites.

To those responsible, thankyou for making this excerpt available.

[wonderwomanheadache]

wtf!! hahahaha

[Jiplo]

Vittu suomalaiset pelet!

[hevidt]

what the heck is that all about????? what's with the hair????this song does not match the leningrad cowboys theme...it sure feels a wee bit disrespectful.

[f00kumofo123]

Kalinka is a funky song actually. All this clowning around is a good complement. Unless you meant disrespect to cowboys or something.

[davesamms]

Does anyone else notice that around the first solo, instead of it being pronounced Калинка,(kalinka) it sounds like «Калиника» (kalinika)

[Ctotheonst]

ya, i did. maybe its kind of an accent. or an other idiomatic difference.

[davesamms]

Kind of makes sense, The Leningrad Cowboys are Finnish

[mariushelios]

I don't know that much about Leningrad Cowboys, but why are they all acting out so stupid to this great perfomance? It seems annoying, and in a way a bit respectless.. or am I missing the point??

[Grimalkyn]

The Finnish condiment set, you see :)

[tetti811]

nope,that was Senate Square,Helsinki,Finland

[fascino2008]

danke für diesen beitrag. ich bin stolz auf unsere nation. great.

[ismeeallah]

Deine Nation? This performance is in Finland...the Leningrad Cowboys are Finnish and the Russian Red Army Choir...well...Sie wissen schon. Die Schoenheit der deutschen Sprache ist unwiederstehlich, aber stolz auf eine Nation?

[noartdsx]

Nobody expects the world-wide leadership by the Leningrad Cowboys right NOW!

Kakalin Kakalin Kakalja.

[Grimalkyn]

noartdsx: Kalin"Ka kalinKa kalinKa kalja"a

ROTFL

Du sprichst ja Finnisch! You speak Finish!

[Mikey84]

But didn't Leningrad Cowboys & Red Army Choir have a concert in Germany too?

[Grimalkyn]

Ja Mikey84. The Leningrad Cowboys did also hold a concert "NOKIA Balalaika Show". It took place in Berlin one year later in 1994.

[jonedelleman]

This was a beautiful performance. But why those "Cowboys ?" They could have taken monkeys, they would at least habve been funny. Still, the soloist and the entire choir were first class !!

[frido65]

сказово !

[severisuhonen]

are that in finland?
