Folklorama: Russian Pavilion

This is probably my favorite pavilion, simply because it features music by Limpopo. This upbeat band has it's origins in Moscow, and has been performing since 1986. The group toured the former Soviet Union performing in some of it's most famous theaters. In 1991, Limpopo performed in the States as a four-member folk and comedy troupe. They were very successful performing for audiences of all ages across Canada and the United States at music and comedy festivals.

Listen to the clips above to hear such traditional Russian favorites as, "When My Dear Mother Was Send Me Off to the Army", "Boots Filled Up With Money All the Way", and the great Russian love song, "You Let Me Down". If you like their music, you can find other performances on Youtube, or on their website.

Shiloh didn't much care for this pavilion, due to our close proximity to the sound system. He is frightened by loud noises and accordions, so this turned out to be a bit of a hair-raising experience for him. You may hear him making alarmed noises at different points during the performance.
