Yes, I realize that the Argentina I once knew does not exist anymore. I will especially miss my beloved old commuter trains with leather seats and the old and wonderful, if rather crazy, “collectivos” (buses). So I listen to a lot of Argentinian music. A
Dear friends, As many of you know, I only use GNU/Linux for all my computer needs, from my desktop to my Android phone. In fact, I have not used any Microsoft products since 2000, almost 20 years ago. But now there is an entire list of software which I (and a few family members) need to run which run only on a Windows platform. So I have finally decided to
And for those of you unfamiliar with the balalaika, here is what an adult virtuoso can do with this instrument:
This video was recorded in St. Isaac’s Cathedral during a concert dedicated to the Russian Army Day on February 23rd, the Saint-Petersburg choir performed a song about the nuclear bombing of the US.

No, I am not referring the folks who voted for Trump. That was the right thing to do. I am talking to the diehard idiots today who still are pretending that MAGA will happen. They are the kind of infantile ignoramuses who will delight in such animations… The Saker

Version one: Version two: (with lyrics subtitled in English) But my favorite Russian song of all is this one:
Okay, his video is not about Russia vs the USA, it is about the destruction of what I call “sexual differentiation” in the West. But while I was listening I thought, “yup, he is right” and “at least in Russia men are men and woman are woman” (and, just for any dumb macho retard would you misunderstand what I mean by that, what I mean is that the ideal Russian

Jazz music is often famous for featuring amazing improvisations and that is absolutely fair: Jazz did re-vitalize the art of improvisation which almost disappeared with the end of the Baroque period.

His solo career and his career with the group “Oregon” has produced some of the most beautiful and original music written in our times. Today I want to share with you one of his compositions for solo acoustic guitar called “Anthem”. The main reason I love it is because of its immense lyrical beauty, but
Dear friends, Just yesterday I discovered the amazing musician Naudo Rodrigues. Here is a short bio of his I found online: He began to play guitar at age five. He belongs to a family of musicians, but never went to any school or music conservatory. He’s an autodidact. He learned to play guitar by jamming with other musicians, and he played all musical styles. He worked with various musician groups
Note by the Saker: at a time when the Empire seems to determine to prolong the war in Syria and is poised to attack Iran (although there are some differences of opinion about this notion amongst US politicians), I thought I would share with you the memory of Lebanon’s “Divine Victory” with these two videos. May they serve as an example and give courage to us all! Intro from the
