Russian-Gypsy guitar tradition goes back to the 18th century when the first Sokolovsky Gypsy choir (Russian "Соколовский хор") was founded by the Count Orlov-Chesmensky in the 1770s who called on Ivan Sokolov, leader of the Roma (Gypsies) among his serfs, to perform at his estate outside Moscow. The Roma-serfs were granted their freedom in 1807, and Sokolov became the first in a dynasty of Gypsy choir leaders. The choir performed at the prestigious Yar restaurant in Moscow ("Соколовский хор у Яра"). When his descendant Grigory Sokolov died leadership passed to Nikolai Shishkin. Many staples of the Russian traditional romans song have Romani origins.
Vadim learned directly from his uncle and other virtuoso guitarists in Russia the “Gypsy Vengerka” (or, as the theme is known in the West, “The Two Guitars”) is more than a single piece, it is a whole culture of improvising on guitar or violin. Years of experience helped Vadim Kolpakov develop his own, highly imaginative and virtuosic version, that Via Romen performed.

Профессиональная цыганская исполнительская традиция на русской (или как ее иногда называют, цыганской) семиструнной гитаре «семиструнке» в России ведет свое начало от хора кочевых цыган-«лэутарей», в 1774 выписанных графом А. Орловым-Чесменским из Валахии и поселенных в подмосковном поселке (ныне Пушкино). Этот хор возглавил Иван Трофимович Соколов (1740-е - 1807), патриарх семьи цыган-артистов, известных в России с конца XVIII в. по начало XX в.
