Three Tune Tuesday #149 .:. Made in USSR

Kola Beldy is a representative of the Nivkhi ethnic group, and he does not sing in Russian - I myself have no idea what the song is about!. The song is actually called 'The Tale of the Sun-Tambourine', the video that you see was a fragment of the film «The City and the Song» (1968), in which ballet dancers from the Leningrad Music Hall took part. 👙 That is, these are completely different, independent works, which, as it turned out, fit each other perfectly. The resulting video clip delights with minimalism, choreography, retro-futurism - even today it looks very solid!

(The song itself starts at the 40th second). It is recommended to pour 1 liter of vodka and cry from the memories of a bygone era. The song seems to be humorous, but the laughter is mixed with tears...

This is a psychedelic song of great power. Key lyrics: «Tears in autumn faces. I am deprived of an unexpected smile given to somebody else, I am parting with a tram, with a crossroad, with a finished cigarette, and with a random shadow in someone else’s window... Nothing can be repeated; and what can be repeated - should not be».

This one is from underground. Recorded unofficially in 1978 by a great Russian bluesman Arkadii Severnii, it got no label release - the only circulation was unofficial compact-cassette copies. This is not original song, it has original lyrics but based on a more well-known precursor - Charlie Chaplin's 'Titina' (fron 'Modern Times' movie - 1936).
