With their style between Twist and Rockabilly, markedly influenced by Russian pop songs, the Gagarin Brothers revive popular and undeservedly forgotten melodies of Soviet entertainment music from the Fifties and Sixties.
The quintet around the singer Alexej Sekatskij with his voice between Elvis and Utjossov, having proved itself in the concert halls of Moscow and St. Petersburg, now presents a virtuosic album recorded without overdubs. The melodies oscillate between unfathomable melancholy and exuberant joy driven by intoxicating rhythms.
Western experts discover with surprise: there was dance behind the Iron Curtain!
