Bermuda Daily - Issue #47: ...and with Russia

There's a long tradition of using non lexical vocalisms in singing. From the simplest da-da-da to the very artistic use of scattered words in jazz or in blues (like Cab Calloway, or like Scatman John, cfr. Issue #39) or even to the yodelisms used in Alps music or some Irish music or some Native American music.
In Soviet Union this tradition had a peak.

Today Issue is about Eduard Khil, the baritone singer that recorded in 1976 a song where the human voice was the main instrument, an instrument superior to any other. The song became quickly very famous in USSR, and overseas and worldwide when it became a meme. I guess very few know the origins of the so-called Trololol song, which exists and it's not named like that at all.

Radio Bermuda presents today the song named Я о́чень рад, ведь я, наконе́ц, возвраща́юсь домо́й (that is Ya ochen rad, ved ya, nakonets, vozvrashchajus domoy).
The original, not one of the many parodies. With the original voice of Eduard Khil.

Enjoy the listening and see you tomorrow.

Since we are in russia I'd like to add Polina Gagarina and her song Lullaby

Here is another popular/famouse russian song named Podmoskovnye Vechera or Moscow nights.

Fun fact:

orginally it was named Leningrad Nights.

It became famouse abroad thanks to the American pianist Van Cliburn (1934 - 2013)

Not a Russian song, I add this one by an Italian artist.
The song belongs to an album of 1980 and it's named after the Nevskij Prospect in San Petersburg (Leningrad from 1924 to 1991).

Prospettiva Nevsky by Franco Battiato.

I like it even though I don't understand it. I guess this poor old Wolfie will need to work on his Italian game

Australia represents

I add Paul singing Back in the USSR in a concert in Kiev. Not the best quality nor the best execution but still strong.



P.S. Thank you Kangaroo you showed me these tags
