Коробейники (Korobeiniki/Peddlers/The Tetris Theme) - EPIC Orchestral Cover

"Korobeiniki" (Russian: Коробе́йники, tr. Korobéyniki, lit. 'The Peddlers') is a nineteenth-century Russian folk song that tells the story of a meeting between a peddler and a girl, describing their haggling over goods in a metaphor for courtship. Subscribe!:    / @spiritrev   Twitter:   / spiritrev_   Outside Russia, "Korobeiniki" is widely known as the Tetris theme tune (titled "A-Type" in the game), from its appearance in Nintendo's Game Boy version of the game as arranged by the Japanese composer Hirokazu Tanaka in 1989. The song "Korobeiniki" is based on a poem of the same name by Nikolay Nekrasov, which was first printed in the Sovremennik magazine in 1861. Its increasing tempo and the associated dance style led to it quickly becoming a popular Russian folk song. When the popular Soviet videogame Тетрис (Tetris), developed by Elorg programmer A. L. Pajitnov, was licensed for production in the Western world in the late 1980s, marketing companies utilized typical Russian and Soviet imagery in order to boost the game's popularity. Part of this campaign included revamping the game's soundtrack to include Russian folk music, of which "Korobeiniki" is the most famous - to the point that the song is now known as the "Tetris" theme outside of the Russian-speaking world. Korobeiniki is now one of the most recognizable Soviet songs of all time, and its catchy melody has been loved by gamers and soundtrack enthusiasts for decades. This epic orchestral cover will transport you back to the days of 8-bit gaming and Soviet nostalgia galore! Whether you're a Tetris fan or not, you're going to love this rendition!
