Radio Africa
Radio Africa (Russian: Радио Африка) is an album by the Russian rock band Aquarium.
The album's style presents an eclectic mix of influences: new wave, art rock, post-punk, jazz, psychedelia, honky tonk, free improvisation, ethnic music and others.
According to the liner notes of the remastered version of the album, it was recorded in a mobile studio owned by the Soviet government, after the band bribed its technician.
Many guest musicians participated in the recording, including the notable saxophonist Igor Butman and avant-garde jazz pianist Sergey Kuryokhin.
The album includes some of Aquarium's best known and most cited songs - Captain Africa (Капитан Африка), The Art of Being Humble (Искусство быть смирным), and the bleak anthem Rock 'n Roll is Dead (Рок-н-ролл мёртв), which was chosen by Nashe Radio as one of the top 100 songs of the twentieth century.
Due to its eclecticism and historical importance it was dubbed "The White Album of Russian rock".

Radio, Radio
by: Roger Miret & The DisastersWhat's that playing on the radio? On the radio, on the radio
I hear the music blasting from across the hall
It drives me crazy I can't take it anymore
Until it stops I'll keep banging on your wall
What's that playing on the radio?
I'm reaching out to you but you don't hear my call
I'm aggravated I can't take it anymore
If you don't answer me I'll break this fuckin' door
What's that playing on the radio?
Your fuckin' music's got me edged against the wall
I've had enough of it I can't take it anymore
I'm feeling nauseous and my ears are getting sore
What's that playing on the radio?
Can't you hear my aggravation?
Full of anger and frustration
Blown my fuse I'm so impatient
Tired of this situation
I just want an explanation
What is with your generation?
Tell me what's your motivation
