The publishing house “Izdevniecība MicRec” has released a book featuring the lyrics of 500 songs by Maestro Raimonds Pauls, along with their chord progressions.

Preview of the book: https://youtu.be/c5ZWRP68QYc

The song selection and editing process took longer than expected. The author of the idea, as well as the lyricist of many of the Maestro’s songs, Guntars Račs, explains:

“Yes, it took three times longer than we had planned. We initially hoped that all we’d need to do was choose the songs, arrange them in alphabetical order, and the work would be done. But once we started searching for the lyrics in books and sheet music editions, we discovered that the wording differs across sources. We also realized that we shouldn’t rely on versions someone has written down and published somewhere on the internet — something is always incorrect there.
We had to go to the library, look for original sheet music, and in the end simply listen, transcribe, and verify everything. We called many performers, asked them again, and listened once more. Personally, I found it interesting to delve deeper into the selection of poetry, and working on this publication allowed me to rediscover some of the songs myself.”

Raimonds Pauls:

“The first reactions to the book have been very positive. I’m also pleased that such a compilation exists, and I believe the publishers have done a thorough job. My thanks to them.”

The book’s design was created by artist Guntars Petris, and the cover features a photograph by Ritvars Stankevičs. The new edition also includes chord diagrams, information about each song’s creation date, and details about its first performer.
The book is available in major bookstores and can be ordered on the “Izdevniecība MicRec” website: https://ej.uz/500maestrodziesmas

Latvian Singer Based in Scotland Anna Wohl Releases Her First Original Song

Singer and songwriter Anna Wohl, who lives and creates in Scotland, presents her debut original single “Tu un Es” (“You and Me”).

The lyrics were written by Anna some time ago, but only with the support of like-minded collaborators were they finally brought to life in music. The composition was created by Jānis Gulbis, with the bass recorded in Latvia by Andris Šīrants. The arrangement, recording, and mixing were done by Arnis Ieviņš, with valuable input from singer Anita Intaite (Ei Fe) in shaping the overall sound.

Although the musicians involved live in different countries, they regularly meet at self-organized creative camps in Ireland, where this song also came to life.

Anna shares: “‘Tu un Es’ is very special to me. It is not only about love in general, but about my love for my husband – the person who is always by my side and supports me. The song tells the story of a deep connection between two people, of the ability to support one another, and of a bond that is stronger than anything else.”

The song is available on all major streaming and download platforms:

Baiba Bondare releases new song “Rozā krāsās” (In Pink Colors)

Singer Baiba Bondare, who returned to music this February with the song “Viss notiek savādāk” (Everything Happens Differently), now presents her new single – “Rozā krāsās”.

The song was written by songwriter Gatis Mūrnieks, with production by Kaspars Maks.

Baiba Bondare shares:
“When I received the song “Rozā krāsās” from Gatis, I immediately felt its message – it’s about complicated human relationships. We often imagine things as better than they really are, and that’s when they turn into ‘pink colors’. They sometimes keep us holding on to hope that things aren’t as bad as they seem. But sometimes an ending is also a new beginning – you have to move on and be grateful for the good that has been. Every experience in human relationships carries a lesson that eventually takes away the pink glasses.”

Vinyl Release, New Song, and Concert at “Depo” by Pienvedēja Piedzīvojumi!

The album Bezmiegs by the band “Pienvedēja Piedzīvojumi,” released this May, is now available on vinyl. The album was created in collaboration with “Izdevniecība MicRec,” and along with the vinyl release, a new single “Putekļi” is also being published.
The video for the new song was filmed during the album presentation concert at the concert hall “Angārs,” with the album’s producer and the band’s drummer, Pēteris Lunde, in the lead role.

The vinyl presentation concert will take place on September 12 in Riga, at the club “Depo”. The concert starts at 9:00 PM.

“This will be like returning to the band’s roots, when we used to play here quite often. Since the club will soon close at its current location, we want to once again experience its atmosphere and aura,” says the band’s vocalist and bassist, Māris Žigats.

“There aren’t many audience seats in ‘Depo,’ and this concert will be special. We hope to meet those listeners who used to come hear us at ‘Depo’ many years ago,” adds drummer Pēteris Lunde.

In collaboration with photographer Nils Vilnis, the album’s visual concept was developed to turn photos into stereo 3D format.
“To fully appreciate the album cover in all its glory, 3D glasses are required. Those who purchase the vinyl or CD will receive the glasses included,” says guitarist Aldis Lunde.
