Total Balalaika Show
On June 12, 1993, more than 50.000 people wittnessed a historical event on the Senate Square in Helsinki. The rock group Leningrad Cowboys performed for the first time together with the 100 singers, 40 musicians and 20 dancers of the Alexandrov Red Army Chorus and Dance Ensemble, on the biggest stage ever seen in Finland. The programme included rock classics from "Happy Together" to "Gimme All Your Lovin" as well as traditional hits form the Ensemble's own repertoire. From the beginning to the end the concert was a roaring success. Total Balalaika Show is a documentary on the concert, an extraordinary and unforgettable encounter of the old and the new, of East and West.
