It would be wonderful to attend a celebration like this. The songs and dancers are fantastic. Thanks for sharing a glimpse into the culture and heritage of Latvia.
What a beautiful tradition, and your celebration was awesome. I wish I could have witnessed such an event in person. Your voices are very special. I first heard Latvian singers at an event in , Scotland; it was the "Reconciliation Through Music" that is held in alternate years in Dresden and Coventry. The rich sound of the Latvian Bass voices were right behind me(I was an envious tenor). I was so impressed. My best to you all.
Francis Bagbey It should be spectacular. In 2023 Song festival will celebrate 150 years since it began back in 1873. Tickets are hard to come by for those big events at Daugava stadium and Mažaparks open air stage but its definitely worth it. During the week there’s around 60 events of which 2/3 are free of charge.
Fascinating ! If you have more documentaries regarding Latvian folklore, classic music and painting please be so kind as to inform the web sites or youtube locations-. Warmest greetings from an also small but old country - Portugal.
I am proud to be of Latvian heritage my .I'm was from Latvia My dad's mom was Latvian and his father was Russian Awesome culture awesome people I would like to get to Riga Latvia to visit my cousins and my ancestry roots
The wise small nation with a great soul. Festival is a strong message for those seeking ways to preserve peace in their countries and indirectly condemns those who provoke disagreements and hostility between nations. A link worthy of following.

I was in Latvia once (from Poland it's not so far) but unfortunately could not be at the time of this festival. But must go and see this live. I even started learning some basic Latvian but there are very few materials :D
What is the name of the song at 1:52? My bestfriend is latvian and traditions like these make me so happy and make me want to become latvian myself! Beautiful dances and amazing voices.
@Glagoliti I quite disagree with you, my friend. As a Russian who has to move to Latvia I can say that you can become Latvian if you truly wish for it. Learn the language, learn the traditions, and nothing is going to be destroyed. I'm living here for almost 5 years and I fell in love with Latvian culture right away. But for such a long time I was afraid of buying national Latvian costume for myself - I just felt like this is wrong. And you know what? All Latvians I told about my fear were so nice about my wish. Latvians really like when you appreciate their culture and they are super supportive about this. You don't need to be Latvian to be fascinated by their culture, to love their culture and to want to become a part of their culture. Everything you need is time and motivation to learn. That's all. Source: my 5 years of life in Latvia and all my Latvian friends (I've studied only in Latvian schools and currently am studying in University of Latvia which is full of Latvians ofc)
@Orion Lord it is kinda huge, yes, but Russian culture is... undefined, let's say. Latvians were isolated from others for a long time which helped them to save their culture. Meanwhile Russian (or may I say old Russian) culture is kinda lost. There's nothing similar to Latvians celebrations in Russia. No one was interested in collection info about Russian culture - and Russians kinda didn't need that to begin with. Latvian culture is something that helped to save Latvian nation - remember Alexander the Third who wanted to russify (?) all nations living in the Russian Empire. And Russians... already were Russian? They were never discriminated because they't just Russian. What I would like to say - Russians totally don't have culture like Latvian. Different - yes, quite different, but not so authentic with songs and dances.
God's in everyone. When our people comes to do this, common, higher conscience comes into play. Everyone should have a shot at this, you'd get it even without knowing the language. Scientists are left scratching their heads. For now. Thanx 4 compliments, leave poor rich overseas cousins alone though✌💞
I just saw the translation of Lec Saulite when it was sung in the 2018 festival (breath takingly beautiful btw). I see similarities of some of the pagan lore from my own country of Norway.
I really wish this year, 2022, were a festival year and that it were possible to bring the festival forward to, say, the early summer (when I expect Ukraine to win Eurovision) if not sooner. The symbolic potential would be enormous. Long live the Baltic states and slava Ukraini.
A people so attached to their identity and history can never be permanently suppressed. A lesson Russia needs to finally learn. Putin needs to see this and learn something.
Mercì! Ça devient bizarre avec du leyes de Islam et des voyages a Mecca. En France la mayoritè des musulmanes le ignorant. En Lettonie no hay musulmanes o presque, en cette fète de musica arrive toute le histoire de une naciòn. Du paganisme melé avec tout que arrivé auprés. Desolé mon français✌💓
Kāpēc nekad neviens nepiemin 3. lielāko un sarežģītāko vienību dziesmu svētkos - orķestrus. Kā mums ir jāizpelnās tas gods, lai vismaz reklāmas rullītī tiktu pieminēti? Žēl, ka Latvijā orķestri ir tikai fonam un gājieniem, lai nav klusums, nekas vairāk no orķestrim arī neinteresē un netiek pienācīgi popularizēts. Žēl :(
It is very good trailer, but for me voice over it spoils it. It should have been just running text to read what is said. I was there too - participating as a dancer :) It really IS AMAZING! - SOMETHING to Remember!
There are plenty of Western style post-marxists in Latvia as well who are pushing the pro-immigration agenda. I also can't stop wondering why on earth they are so desperately pushing for this cultural suicide that's taking place in the West.

Latvian people are beautiful people. My greetings from Moscow, Russian.
Amazing to see how such similar traditions exist in Estonia and Latvia! Best example of brotherhood.

Dr Thot exterminator, why ?
@@AlmondishTofu hey friend
If anyone's wondering why do some of these songs sound sound so familiar, it's because our ancestors were vikings(not Scandinavian) and pagans.
I just saw the translation of Lec Saulite when it was sung in the 2018 festival (breath takingly beautiful btw). I see similarities of some of the pagan lore from my own country of Norway.
It will happen again from 29-6 till 8-7-2018!
