What a pleasure to be in Russia during the world cup ...
And watching live street musicians is certainly an exciting entertainment ...

Have a great time there, dear friend @anomadsoul...☕❤

>perhaps 15-20 seconds per musician is too little and you want to see more

1 minutes or so will be good just good, yes football unities nations and its citizen just like the present World Cup tournament in ongoing in Russia. And yes music inspiring and unities too since we can all communicate in its language, the sound and the rhythm of its showcase it's beauty.

I just love the way positive reviews are pouring in for Russia. Am glad you're having fun and meeting great people @anomadsoul

Thats really nice. So kind of you to share them a tipped. Appreciate the kind gestures.
Enjoy!

Wow the fancy footwork of that lady with the woman is amazing, I guess Russia 2018 is nearly over, and you're surely feeling the excitement, it really is a beautiful video, I'm guessing the dancers are proffesionals, 

Cheers Eric, a wonderful video 😁😁

That is awesome and the standard is so high! I hope you told them all about steemit open mic? I'd say at least 70% of the artists you showed here would end up getting a curie vote or two :-) 

I particularly enjoyed the first musician and those fantastic Russian dancers :-) Great clips Eric

That's great! Such talented people are born only in St. Petersburg!

Wow! That sounds great for you to find such amazing talents in Russia. I know you must be having a great time by now. Do invite them to steem if possible. Cheers!

What a fantastic selection of street musicians @anomadsoul. So much variety.

I follow someone from St Petersburg here on Steemit so I've seen a lot of posts from there. It was always on my list of places to visit but even more so now. it looks wonderful.

I hope you enjoyed the football! 😊

I have never played in the streets, when in Barcelona there were heavy regulations with fines and I was already doing reasonably well on conventional stages back then. But I found so much talent. I would love to try but have no portable P.A. I would try.  And live now in a small place where it makes no sense. But I remember a chinese man playing  erhu (chinese violin) once brought me to tears and he was invisible for almost everyone. I have done all kind of venues during two decades, small cofee dlives for a few and big stages for thousands. And people's appreciation sadly is linked with their idea of success.  I am sure a popular person would be just "unseen" too,  so I find it sometimes sad and grateful when people actually appreciate.

Who do you think will win? (P.S. There is only one right answer to this question.

Hey Eric, I heard Saint Petersburg has kind of European feeling, what do you think? Too bad Belgium lost the match yesterday. Will you stay in Russia until the final? Enjoy your trip!

What place did you like most in St. Petersburg? 

I really like Senate Square and New Holland.

Yes, whenever we see the streets full of street performers, painters and artists then that purely reflects as, we are entered into an world of entertainment and these kind of environment can provide the pure joy in life.

Semifinals are trending topic for sure and today **Croatia** won the match and truly match was full of excitement and it's truly reflected as an match of Semifinals, and i hope that finals will be just amazing.

Yes, you said right, these kind of sports event or any other global events can unite people and all become one because that's the beauty of these kind of sports means, no matter from which country you are, everyone will connect with this sport like one.

Yes, we are waiting for more videos and yes, musicians always entertain people and they push everyone into the world of music. And yes, music is universal language and we can connect with the feel of music no matter if we fail to understand the language.

Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂

It is incredible to see that talent flows all over the world and does not distinguish between color, race, gender or age, you are free to enjoy art and share that happiness with others!

I remember when I went to Amsterdam in 2016 and there were the street performers outside the Rijksmuseum. Under the tunnel. So awesome listening to them. Such beauty they created for those just psssibg by. I found myself sitting there watching them for several songs and threw a $10 into their case. So many people pass by and give nothing. Sad as that lovely sound traveled and echoed as folks enjoyed it. They rocked that tunnel. Lol

I thought it was "Steemit Musicians" (LOL)  Looks fun.

i love russia and SP, always graet party in russia

I always wanted to see SP, just somehow was not a priority :) For me is the city of children stories and fantasy. Music is a fantasy so no doubt is all around :)

Thanks for the good information. I will visit you often.
nice up vote :)

are you in Russia?!

Hey, welcome!;) 
I'm in the Crimea, the south of Russia;)
The World Cup really unites people! Did you feel this crazy atmosphere?
The country was just boiling!

Are you satisfied with the results and the winner?

St.Petersburg is a special city! I've never been to it yet, but I've heard so much about its unique energy and inspiration that flies in the air there.
Is it right?:)

Moscow is very busy and crowded, it's like a crazy non-stop machine, but St.Petersburg is considered to be the Russian capital of culture and art, so you're lucky to see it by your own eyes!

Street musicians are wonderful! 
We've a lot of them in the streets as well, tourists like them, and it's a nice way to show their creativity and earn some moneym especially in summer;)

you must be very kind if you think about this post and profit from it and shared some money with guys..

Didnt you tell them you would show them to the world via Steemit?
I'm sure they would be happy to have such a great audience;)
