Roman sings

Life brings nice surprises. In 2009 I drew a musician playing an unusual instrument in the streets of the village of Rissen in Hamburg. A little crowd gathered and the musician stopped to tell us his instrument was a Bandura and that he was playing in the village to say thank you to the local people for enabling his stay in Germany. His name was Roman Antonyuk.


Today I heard from Roman and it turns out he not only plays but sings. He sent me a pair of YouTube videos. Here is is singing a Mozart aria:



In the second video he is singing Арія Остапа

If I had known he could sing as well as play when I saw him in Rissen I would have requested an aria.
