Way to Russia Talk Lounge

markhagelin

Recently, while in search of Russian music I ran across a CD with Alla Pugacheva "River Ferryman" which is, in my opinion, totally awesome. I don't understand all the words, but just the sound is something else.

I can see why she became a pop Diva.

I would like to learn more about her and other Russian music from a Russian perspective. Lyrics would be nice too.

I thought it would be nice to try to go into Russian music for all of us to learn who don't already know.

Mark, I;m not familiar with Alla Pugacheva's music but I found another site with some Russian "classic rock" MP3's on it. The leader of the group is Konstantin Nikolsky and the url is http://russia-in-us.com/Music/Rock/Nikolsky/
It's kindof easy rock, enjoyable but alas, no lyrics, chords, or tablature. Check it out. DennisF
PS: Everyone have a great holiday season!

Normally mp3s take so long to download especially only using a 56 k modem. I don't have DSL or anything like that.

But I'll try it and see what happens. I am actually geting a good download speed. 5.1kb/s.

I like to buy CDs

In the states there is: http://www.ruskniga.com/

I just didn't know what artists to look for.

Do you have a last name for Ariya?
Who is Balaban?

While were on the subject of speed, is there high-speed internet in Russia? I was shocked when I got ~ 150 kb/s on those songs, I thought it would be a lot slower...Good stuff.

Alice

I got the name Balaban from the website link you provided.

I got all 3 songs okay. They downloaded fater than I expected for a 56 k modem.

I tried a Goggle search of Ariya to try to find a CD.

Thanks for the other link. I couldn't find any name I recognized, but I saved it for future reference.
