[hongaslahoenvaara]

Phonogram, Leningrad music hall?

[mediumtedium]

Does anyone know who the first singer is? He sounds a lot like Jacques Dutronc but is it actually Jacques...?

And also in case anyone was wondering the second song is Czerwone Gitary (the Red Guitars) from Poland, "Nikt na swiecie nie wie"

[yanndick]

@mediumtedium

The first singer is Marcel Amont.

The first musical act's vocals sound like Weird Al doing Bob Dylan in that palindrome song.

[medinrock]

It's a French singer called Marcel Amont.

He was kind of big in France at that time, but I have no idea what he does on Russian TV...

[swashbucklefunk]

I'm not sure he does either..

Scene from "In the 13th hour of the Night", by Larissa Shepitko. -

On New Year's Eve 1969, various characters from Russian folklore gather in the hut of Baga Yaga to await the arrival of the New Year 1970 (portrayed as a high foreign guest), amid much foolery, snippets of popular artists of the day, satirical views of the west via a magical kaleidoscope, and other silliness.

Apparently broadcast on NY's eve 1969

See the Russian version of Wikipedia for more info

[acousticjerk]

At 3:40, that song is Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, from the record Whip Cream and Other Delights. You can find it at ANY thriftstore.

[wpsmurf]

The kaleidoscope appears to be a window into the decadent west, also into the doomed subconscious of the viewers.

Say what you will about the USSR but at least there you had to be well schooled and talented to get a job in the soviet arts. For some reason when the public wasn't in control of the purse strings the arts actually got funded.

omg fukin orgasmic hi

[redgloria]

Best stage setup ever. I'm stealing it for next years gay pride float.

The voices are coming from INSIDE the kaleidoscope
