Talk about a cultural exchange! Consider the Finnish rock band called The Leningrad Cowboys. They held a concert in Russia, to the screaming applause of Russkie teen-agers - PLUS they got the Red Army Choir to join them on stage for a performance of "Sweet Home Alabama." - in English!
You couldn't make this up. Back in the days of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Red Army had an official choir composed of male soldiers and musicians. It still exists. The Red Army Choir performs throughout Russia to this day.
I was spellbound by the video - having never even heard of the Leningrad Cowboys and had NO idea what to expect. What makes me smile is the idea that such a concert took place. So this is what world peace looks like...?
