Cyrillic: Алексей Архиповский - Шарманка
Alexei Arkhipovsky is a renowned balalaika virtuoso in both Russia and abroad. Enjoy showmanship and virtuosity combined, Russian style!
Some of the songs featured (times are highly approximate, and he alters them quite a bit, also altering back and forth between various pieces):
