'Rybalochka'
- Genre: 'Indie' - Release Date: '2006'
Listening to Limpopo (http://www.limpopo.com) one cannot help but to be massively entertained. The most impressive thing about Limpopo is how much fun these guys are definitely having.
If your house parties are getting a little bit dull and predictable, I beg of you to slip a little Limpopo into your stereo and see what happens. Your most crusty house guest will be up on the house top in their underwear with a beer bong, sucking down a dozen raw eggs, and screaming at any Italians in the crowd where Rocky can go and what he can do when he gets there.
If you want to get to the essence of what Limpopo brings to the table, put in the title track. It will get you moving faster than an Olympic sprinter on a Starbucks bender. Then go to "Po Rumochke." That song should be played by any boss who wants to get any employee moving just a little faster. The only downfall to the great Limpopo is that I cannot in good conscience recommend anyone listen to them while driving. I was and it prompted me to do dangerous things in a half-ton moving vehicle.

Rybalochka
Unreal.
These guys may be a Russian folk band, but these guys rock. It is impossible to not be moved to do something when you listen to these guys. Throw in a little bit of blues and more than a little bit of jazz, put it in the blender and sprinkle on some comedy and you have one of the most entertaining groups I've ever heard. I cannot overstate the impact you will feel if you listen to Limpopo.
I get the feeling that Limpopo is a band that plays for each other and the pure joy of performing. Whether it be for themselves in rehearsal or playing for the President of the United States (they played for President Reagan during a private welcoming party for the Gorbachevs), they seem like a band that just wants everyone around to be having as much fun as they are. Listen to this release and you yourself will be going "bop, bop, bop" all night long.
