Rapper Flo Rida flew to Russia for the first time

Rapper Flo Rida (real name Tramar Dillard) flew to Moscow with two concerts. This was announced on May 2 by the performer on social networks.

At Vnukovo airport, he was greeted by a folk ensemble that performed his own song, but in the Russian folk style. The song Low was performed on accordion and balalaika, with the latter played by an artist disguised as a bear.

Before the flight, Dillard and his team conducted "geography lessons", where the artist was shown on a map the route from the USA to Russia with a transfer in Turkey. The flight took 15 hours.

The performer will give two concerts in the capital, after which he will go to Krasnodar and Novosibirsk with performances.
