With this special KULCHA performance, he will launch his debut solo CD, Russian Guitar: Volume 1, which is the first of its kind recorded in Australia and one of the first in ...the world outside of Russia. Krzysztof also plays the native Russian balalaika folk instrument and will perform solos on the night from his new recording as well as Russian Gypsy duets with Mardae Selepak.
