The Russian orchestra Russkiy Stil (Russian Style) has combined the famous folk song In the Field Stood a Birch Tree with Rammstein’s Du Riechst So Gut. The video of the group has gained almost 20 million views on YouTube, Sputnik reports.


Viewers loved the performance of "heavy metal" music with a harp, balalaika, musical saw, double bass and button accordion. The participants of the orchestra break stereotypes regarding the familiar sounds of Russian folk instruments and rock music as well. The musicians play many world pop hits.

The musicians of Rammstein uploaded the clip of the Russian orchestra on the band’s official page and highly praised it. 

A video clip for Million Scarlet Roses in Japanese also got a lot of views recently. The hit song Alla Pugacheva sang many years ago is very popular in Japan. A new version of the video was shot by a young couple. While the Japanese wife sings, the Russian husband plays the guitar.
