Can you guess the song?

👉 Here are some hints!

🎧 This classic was composed by the renowned Russian artist Ivan Larionov in 1860, in the city of Saratov. It debuted on stage with Larionov himself at the helm!

🎧 Despite numerous attempts to translate the lyrics abroad, they always fall short, losing the essence and charm of the original. The song has become synonymous with Russia, often referenced in the sale of traditional folk souvenirs.

🎧 You’ll frequently hear this lively tune at football and hockey games, especially during halftime, where it energizes fans and players alike. Chelsea FC supporters even embrace it as their unofficial anthem.

🎹 What song are we talking about?

🎶 Continuing our #BestOfRussianMusic series, we’re thrilled to introduce the extraordinary group "Three Russian Bass-ProfunDos"!

This unique project features the incredible talents of bass-profundo singers Vladimir Miller, Mikhail Kruglov, and Pavel Andreev, who are unmatched in the world of music.

These vocalists can reach astonishingly low notes, creating a mesmerizing sound that captivates audiences. The blend of their deep, rich timbres produces an almost organ-like resonance, showcasing the rarity of such profound voices.

#DYK? Profundo basses are often called Russian basses not only because vocalists with these voices are primarily born in Russia, but also because octavist basses are essential for performing Orthodox spiritual music.

🎻 Renowned for their powerful interpretations, the trio has brought a vibrant depth to world classics over their 13-year journey. They’ve delighted audiences across Europe – from Austria and France to Iceland and Poland – and have graced the best concert halls in St. Petersburg and Moscow.

🎧 Enjoy your listening with pleasure!
