Having just heard Dima for the first time on the World Music awards, I took a chance and bought his CD, sound unheard (except for the one song I heard during the awards). Even though all the songs except that one are in Russian, it is a VERY enjoyable disc! I would highly recommend it. His vocals are smoky, but pure and the sound of his singing in Russian adds to the exotic feel of the music. I went ahead and bought a DVD of his, too (haven't received delivery, yet), since I enjoyed the visuals of his performance during that one song.
