The Strangers play "Kolme Kitaraa" (Three Guitars). One of the best examples of 'rautalanka' - melancholic Finnish instrumental in a minor key, based on Finnish and Slavic folk tunes. From April 1963.

@SirBasildeBrush My apologies! I was bebopping between all the rautalanka available on youtube a few months ago, (as I am doing now) and made a mistake w/ addressing my comment! Thumb is still up, though ja kiitokset tasta namupalasta!

Totally agree with.( however i guess you meaned to say "the Finnish life style ") . About the "Russian feel " : i suppose they were tributary to the Russians , in the pre-Gorbatchov era.

@SirBasildeBrush Well, no wonder. Almost half of the tunes of that 'rautalankalevytykset' CD are in fact Russian.

@tommigun56 Pleased to help out. I think the Finnish music style lends itself to these haunting, melancholic, minor-key instrumentals. Has rather a Russian / cossack feel.

Thanks for the upload. This song was also covered by Charles Aznavour as "deux guitares" I believe. As someone else has mentioned, this is a Jewish/Russian song which is also quite popular with "Gypsy" bands. Rautalanka take on it is is brilliant though... long live rautalanka!
