Once a cycle - every six weeks - we are encouraged to get together and attend a cultural activity. I'm hoping for some traditional Russian folk dancing sometime in the future! This week we got to go to a traditional Russian musical presentation at a local conservatory. The head balalaika played was incredible! I have two videos attached - one with the balalaika headliner guy and then another one without him. The three women are playing domra and the accordion played is really playing a bayan - an accordion without a keyboard - just buttons on both sides. I really like the bass player with the really BIG balalaika. The videos don't do the sound justice but give you a feeling for the music. Pretty neat!
