Russkaja

Russkaja play with Slavic clichés and melancholic minor melodies which then pick up speed again and invite you to dance. The beat of the so-called "Turbo Polka" with a Jamaican Ska-offbeat makes the people’s feet and souls celebrate, dance and happily forget all their woes. Excursions into punk rock, metal and dub-step also make even lovers of the harder genres shake their heads. Upbeat powerful songs swing between countries, languages and cultures - High Speed Polka Ska Groove hits virtuoso dirt guitars. Gorgeous violins let the big bass baritone voice of lead singer Georgij Alexandowitsch Makazaria shine as bright as the stars. Since 2005 RUSSKAJA have been touring their modern and cosmopolitan Austro-Soviet roots. Georgij Makazaria - voc / Lea-Sophie Fischer - violin / Nico Loro Ravenni - sax / H-G.
