Music
You’ll find CDs on sale pretty much everywhere, from subway kiosks to department stores. The cheaper the price the more likely it’s a fake but in my experience the quality is the same.
The album cover you clicked on to reach this page is Capital by Belarus' biggest band Lyapis Trubetskoy. The video to the title track, which features a gallery of world leaders such as Fidel Castro and Alexander Lukashenko, has achieved cult status on You Tube.
