Where to relax before and after cleaning? Concert guide for the holidays
“Snarky Puppy”
April 26 in the concert hall “Palladium Riga”
No matter what genre of music we listen to, the name Snarky Puppy has probably already entered our reception zone. The winners of five “Grammy” awards are a hard-to-describe giant ensemble formed around Michael League. “Snarrky Puppy” consists of musicians who have played with the biggest stars of pop music, rap, jazz and other music genres. How many musicians will be on stage in the “Palladium” hall? It is good if the musicians themselves know it, but there will be more than 10 already. To make themselves mad and make you mad.
“Melo-M”
April 26 in Valmiera Culture Center
Cellists can get confused with them. “Melo-M” are those who do not play a mix of classical and metal music with cellos. This cello trio consisting of Jānis Pauls, Kārlis Auzāns and Miķelis Dobičins, joined by the great drummer Miķelis Vīti, offers covers of popular songs, which, to be honest, are also quite energetic and cannot be found far from the field of rock music.
Linda Leen solos at the piano
April 26 in the “Klavins Piano” concert hall in Kuldīga
The company of Dāvid Kļaviņas not only builds unique upright pianos, but also offers special concerts. Linda Leen will sit at the piano this evening and, as promised by the concert organizers, through her own songs and stories by other authors, she will take you through the path of the artist on the Latvian music scene.
Ingus Ulmani’s 60th anniversary concerts
April 26 at the “Jūras vārti” theater in Ventspils, April 28 at the Krustpils cultural center in Jēkabpils
I know listeners who are waiting for Ulmanis’ big concert, which will be offered at the end of this summer, but I also recommend attending one of the remaining concerts of this spring tour, in which Ingus with his comrade-in-arms Aigaras Voitiški and a younger generation of musicians manage to be both rock and pop, but most definitely – sincerely. I can promise you that it will be hard not to sing along.

Mara Upman-Holstein and Goran Gora
On April 27, “Zeit” in Līgatne
Māra and Jānis together. And it turns out that we deserved it long ago. Having tried playing music in this format and feeling how much the audience likes it, the Upmani-Holstein couple are ready for an additional concert. A warm and family event for equally warm listeners.
Dizzee Rascal
May 1 in the concert hall “Palladium Riga”
Dizzee Rascal is a British hip-hop artist who has been quite a prominent presence on rap scenes both big and small for quite some time now. For example, his song “Bassline Junkie” has 50 million views on YouTube. He is one of those British musicians of the 2000s, around whom such a genre of electronic music as grime, i.e. fast and energetic music interspersed with hip-hop elements, arose and developed. Although he was at the zenith of fame 15 years ago, Dizzy Rascal is full of energy even now. Go and have a look!
Jazz corner
Sylvain Rifflet Quartet “Aux Anges”
April 28 at the Latgale Embassy “Gors” in Rezene, April 29 at the “VEF Jazz Club”
Finnish trumpeter Werneri Pohjola, French percussionist Benjamin Flament and Hungarian Ksaba Palotai, who lives in Paris, will play together with the big name of the jazz world – saxophonist Sylvain Riffle in “Gor”. In the music of the French jazz author, connoisseurs draw similarities with the music of Steve Reich and even Philip Glass, but this is already the everyday life of jazz – references, free play and improvisation.
