Uusi Balalaika Show

Fans of the Leningrad Cowboys will be thrilled to know that they are going to be performing a new Global Balalaika Show with the Red Army Choir this coming August in Helsinki as part of the Helsinki Festival. I'm pretty enthused myself since they had a concert like this 10 years ago which became somewhat legendary. I've only heard the CD from the concert but there is something surreal about a Russian Army Choir singing along with a bunch of Finnish guys with big hair to "Sweet Home Alabama".
