Join in for a fun night of Russian music and songs to celebrate the end of the semester and the end of Benya’s tenure in the Troika of YANIS/Yale Club of Russian Students. Just as in our Karaoke event last year, we will feature everyone’s favorite songs in former Soviet Union languages such as Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarussian (WARNING: No English language songs allowed), but we will just be playing the music, not singing to it (dancing is encouraged). This should open up new musical opportunities as many songs don’t have Karaoke versions. Come to relax with friends, great music and delicious snacks. The event is free with support from McDougal Graduate Student Life, GSAS.
Example featured artists: Бурановские Бабушки (Buranovskiye Babushki), Пугачёва (Pugacheva, Benya’s favorite), Киркоров (Kirkorov), Академия (Academia), Сердючка (Serduchka, pictured above).
Please RSVP on our Facebook page, OrgSync, and/or via email to me.
Some notes of GPSCY rules:
GPSCY will not allow people under 21 to enter (you need government ID like a Driver’s License or a Passport). Please inform the front door staff that you are here for the Russian Music event in the Lounge to avoid a cover charge.
You are welcome to bring in food and/or decorations, but NO outside beverages of any kind, glitter, or confetti.
If you are not a graduate/professional student, make sure you tell the front door staff you are here for this event so you are not denied entry!
