Beijing, November 2 (Xinhua) — The famous Russian ensemble "Uslada" held a concert in Beijing, marking a highlight of the Chinese capital's cultural life.
According to information on the website of the Russian Cultural Center in Beijing, the musicians captivated the audience from the very first minutes with their incredible energy and virtuoso mastery of folk instruments.
The program featured the most beloved and familiar songs that created that “true Russian mood” – from the vibrant “Katyusha” and the lyrical “Moscow Nights” to the fiery “Kalinka” and “Korobeyniki.”
The audience was particularly delighted by the orchestra's unique sound. The performers masterfully used not only balalaikas but also a whole range of traditional instruments, including wooden spoons, a rubel, a tambourine, and a fake accordion.
The performers' vibrant, colorful costumes complemented the performance, visually immersing the audience in the multifaceted world of Russian culture. The concert became a true musical journey through Russia, showcasing its rich folklore heritage.
As the event organizers noted, such events not only introduce Russian art to the Chinese public but also strengthen cultural bridges between the two countries. The evening with the Uslada ensemble once again proved that understanding the language of music and sincere emotions requires no translation. -0-
