La Minor's music invites you to a glass of wine as well as to dance. The Bayan (the Russian button accordion) pushes, the saxophone flatters and singer Slava Shalygin tells his lyrical gangster stories: backyard songs about bad boys, love, passion, alcohol and prison.
La Minor plays so-called street chanson, Russian folk, jazz and klezmer (Odessa style). Their songs sound like musical detective stories about little rascals and tragic loves - joyful and melancholic at the same time.
