In a world where globalism wipes away any and all boundaries, RUSSKAJA supply a suitable soundtrack with their new record "Kosmpoliturbo". Upbeat powerful songs swing between countries, languages and cultures - High speed, groovy Polka Ska meshes with distorted guitars virtuosically. Sparkling violins let the big bass baritone vocals of lead singer Georgij Alexandowitsch Makazaria shine as bright as the stars. Since 2005 RUSSKAJA have been exploring their cosmopolitan Austro-Soviet roots. Beyond all genre confines, RUSSKAJA deliver their so called “Turbopolka”, mingling open-minded passion with various styles from all around the globe, and spread it all over the world!

Russkaja play with Slavic clichés and melancholic minor melodies which then pick up speed again and invite you to dance. The beat of the so-called turbo polka with a Jamaican ska-offbeat makes the people’s feet and souls celebrate, dance and happily forget all their woes. Excursions into punk rock, metal and dub-step also make even lovers of the harder genres shake their heads.
