Hear it: WNYC "Soundcheck"

A recent radio piece on WNYC focused on the culture and lifestyle out in Brighton Beach and we thought it would be especially important to share with our readers. And, perhaps it may inspire you to venture out our way soon. The show mentions Primorski Restaurant, which has a classic Russian dining experience for those willing to try something new.

The radio piece focuses on a performer at the restaurant named Victoria Lisina who is Ukrainian. She actually is quite talented and her style reminds me of a cross between Bjork and Celine Dion (at times maybe even Gloria Estefan). Nevertheless, we were able to track down a site that sells her music (Vitalisina.com). We particularly like her interpretation of the traditional Hebrew song "Hava Nagila".
