Vodka, wine and the Volga – since 2007, Ivan Ivanovich & The Kreml Krauts
have been touring throughout Europe with their mix of ska, Russian
folk, punk and polka. And with their accordion, trombone, horn, sax and
kettledrums, accompanied by witty, frivolous texts in gibberish, they
always succeed in leaving a throng of boisterous boppers – and not a dry
shirt, an untwitching leg or an unopened bottle – in the house.
