OFF WITH THEIR HEADS Aquarium
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxU2xmjaRqE
During my trip to 2009 trip to Russia I was lucky enough to Seve Gakkel, the celloist of the famous Soviet era band Aquarium. The band dated back to 1972, when Boris Grebenshchikov and Anatoly Gunitsky joined forces with several musicians to play art at Leningrad restaurant. The KGB hated rock, but somehow the band flourished in the Brezhnev era and to this date are highly regarded as a voice of freedom for the masses in the USSR.
I don't understand a single word, but love their music.
I'm an old folkie.
