Listen to a band called Yat-Kha, I don't think they use balalaikas, but they use traditional russian/mongolian instruments like morin khuurs, and mix folk music from Tuva (Russia) and from the eastern steppe with classic rock, without ditching the autenticity and spirit. They have a album called "yenisei punk", which is tuvan folk more mixed with rock, and another album, "dalai beldiri", that sounds less western but nonetheless its really beautiful and genuine.

Clicked on this video out of simple curiosity, and was hit with nostalgia instead, my mother used to play this song on her balalaika at home when i was a child, granted, it was never distorted back then...
Yet, another thing Phil's good at. However I don't think I've heard this one on any of the Solo albums. This must be a Genesis vault experience. Just kidding!😄👍🏾
He looks similar to my grandpa and reminds me of him in a way. His way of having this electric balalaika reminds me of my grandpa's ability to just improvise anything and build random cool stuff. He had this old large barrel in his backyard and taught me how to walk on top of it like something from the circus. He made a "hillbilly golf" kit and had a backyard onion farm. Just lots of stuff like that.

Not the exact same, but Show Me the Body is a noise-ish hardcore band that uses a distorted banjo in place of a guitar that kinda has a similar sound to this.
it makes me so sad to think that out of everything this old man did in his life this is the thing more people have seen then anything else, and yet we dont even know his name. we have no idea who he might be and here we are being fascinated by this unique piece of internet history
Many people are remembered because of a single moment in their lives. To be remembered not for a mistake you made that hurt people, or for life work that you aren't proud of, but for showing the world a beautiful piece of art that is beloved to millions, has to be one of the best outcomes of a human life.
That's amazing 😁😁 I have a balalaika that I brought back from Russia a long time ago and I never thought about that... I guess the next step for that talented balalaika player in the video will be to install a tremolo in it, plug it into a Marshall stack ( A Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier will do too ) add some wah-wah and a Rotovibe and give Zakk Wylde a run for his money 🙂🙂

To anybody who is interested: he is playing a Russian folk song named Korobeiniki, the same song was used as a soundtrack in Tetris.
Oh so that's why it was so familiar
Hey, is this old man - Carl Fredricksen?! ("UP" Pixar)
I like the way he plays the bass part with his thumb, very cool
Long live Russia

That's a hell of a sound out of a pretty simple setup, impressive!
Would love to see a Russian folk rock band that uses guitar pedals on the balalaika
