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.”

The song is available on all major streaming and download platforms: https://orcd.co/rozakrasas

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.

Maestro Raimonds Pauls has dedicated one of his latest songs to his beloved wife Lana, who passed away two years ago, on August 4.

The song Venus Temple (also known as I Am a Woman) features lyrics by the late poet Jānis Peters and was among his final works before his passing in January of this year. Maestro has entrusted the performance of this deeply emotional piece to singer Ance Krauze.

Maestro recalls a time when the jazz of the free world only trickled into Latvia, when “Dāvāja Māriņa” in different languages was his music that "played everywhere," and when the jazz suites recorded with Aivars Timšs, Haralds Brando, Gunārs Gailītis, and Aleksandrs Piščikovs around the mid-1960s seemed to have vanished. But now – almost 60 years later, miracles happen...

At the end of the season, on June 7, the distinguished pianist, composer, and jazz musician Uri Caine will visit Latvia for the first time at the cultural space "Hanzas perons." Together with his trio and Latvian saxophonist Kārlis Auziņš, they will perform Maestro Raimonds Pauls' jazz suites in a specially prepared concert program.

“Pienvedēja Piedzīvojumi” Celebrate the Release of 3D Design Album with a Concert!

Yesterday, Riga’s Tallinas Quarter was bustling with people as the Sabile rock trio “Pienvedēja Piedzīvojumi” celebrated the release of their seventh studio album “Bezmiegs” with a loud concert at the local venue “Angārs.”
The venue was packed with fans happy to purchase the band’s new album, which features a 3D image design. To fully appreciate it, the CD version comes with special glasses included. Fans praised the design as very innovative and well-executed. Photographer Nils Vilnis took the album’s photos, and artist Artūrs Tiguls crafted the layout.
The new album, available on streaming platforms and on CD, will also be released in vinyl format, though only in the autumn. It includes 10 brand-new songs, produced, just like the previous “Zelta Mikrofons” award-winning album “Nelaiks” — by the band’s drummer, Pēteris Lunde.
The band performed all the new songs at the concert, plus 12 additional hits from their golden repertoire. The same program will be performed at upcoming concerts: May 10 in Liepāja at the “Wiktorija” club, May 23 in Jelgava at the “Melno Cepurīšu Balerija” club, and May 31 in Varakļāni.
Meanwhile, Latvian Television will air director Jānis Orbidāns’ documentary film about the band on May 22 at 21:10.

The band “C**t” changed its name and released an impressive music video.

C**tFair (formerly known as C**t) is a Latvian rock band founded by musician and composer Harijs Zariņš. The band's music combines energetic rock with emotional messages, and its current lineup reflects a variety of musical backgrounds and personalities.

Harijs Zariņš performs in the band alongside vocalist Elīna Krastiņa, guitarist Rolands Majors, bassist Ģirts Bogdans, and drummer Matīss Veigulis.

The recent pandemic has been a time of reflection, change, and challenges for the band. This has resulted in a new album that will reach listeners this spring. The album was recorded in Latvian and English, continuing the band’s established creative direction.

This year, the band has changed its name to C**tFair to avoid confusion in online searches and to mark a new phase in its journey. The new name combines two ideas – the freedom and energy of wild colts (“colt”) and the vibrancy and festive atmosphere of a medieval fair (“fair”). Although the band’s music is not connected to the Middle Ages, the name reflects a creative fantasy about unrestricted movement, joy, and a sense of adventure – precisely what the band conveys in its music.
To express this, C**tFair is releasing a new song and video titled “Ar velnu nedejo” (“Don’t Dance with the Devil”). Juris Krivmanis directed the video and combined traditional filming with artificial intelligence design tools. Sound engineer Kārlis Šteinmanis handled the sound recording and processing.

The band expresses deep gratitude to the Association of Security Guards and to Jurijs Homenko personally. Thanks to the Valmiermuiža stables, Valmiermuiža riding school, and personally to Rufina Juraša. Special thanks to Dace Burberga, the guest house hostess “Urakši,” as well as Zintis Ekmans and Aldis Grīnfelds!

C**tFair continues to develop its musical path, remaining true to the roots of rock music while bringing in fresh ideas and a contemporary sound. The upcoming album will mark an important milestone in the band’s creative journey, and listeners are encouraged to stay tuned for the first previews and upcoming events.
